Dubbed the voice of Northern Finnish rap, Stepa released his latest album Gettotekniikka in March 2024. Known for a warm-hearted and conscious approach, Stepa’s rhymes are full of horsepower and high-voltage energy. Today, his music increasingly speaks to the value of time and life, while never forgetting life’s greatest forces: peace and love.

Stepa first gained wider attention with his debut album MC in 2008, which music magazine Rumba called a new zero point for Finnish rap. His next studio album, Made In Sodankylä, explored his relationship with society, the importance of positive thinking, and self-reflection—topics that remain close to his heart.

In 2012, Helsingin Sanomat named the album …Ja naksuvat luupit, made with Aren, the best Finnish rap album of the year. His third solo album, Ultramagneettinen, reached as high as fifth place on the official Finnish album charts, followed by Henget, which delved into even deeper themes. The EP trilogy Unelmieni Teatteri (2019) flirted with schlager, hip-hop, and indie rock, serving as a prologue to his more melodic productions. Summer 2022 saw the release of Siistii räppii, followed by the 2023 collaborative album Et voi pysäyttää meitä with Eevil Stöö and the solo album Kodittomat, which collected tracks left off previous releases.

Stepa is also available for live performances with his band Heimo ilman menneisyyttä.
