Grasu XXL

Rapper and music producer Grasu XXL gained faime in 1999 when, together with bandmate Paco 10 Grei he formed XXL & 10 Grei and released a critically acclaimed debut album. The group's association with legendary hip hop producer Tataee and his group, B.U.G. Mafia became official when, in late 2001, they signed with the newly formed [a=Casa Productions].


His debut album, Curaj (Courage) was finally released after multiple delays in 2006 by [a=Casa Productions] in Romania, catapulting Grasu XXL to superstardom and making his charismatic songwriting techniques and ironic approach to lyricism a trademark for the Bacau native. Produced entirely by himself, the album established the then-only 25 year old rapper as one of Romanian hip hop's heavyweights.
