If you live in Iceland and don’t know who GKR is, you must live
under a rock. If you are a tourist here on February 10th with
nothing planned, well, we’ve found your night. GKR—aka 22-
year old Gaukur Gretuson—won our “Artist of the Year” category
at the 2016 Grapevine Music Awards, with good reason. He’s got
a nice voice—one of my favourites in Icelandic rap actually—
and also a boyish charm. Unlike others in the scene here, GKR
doesn’t rap about cliché stuff like drugs and partying. Instead,
he tackles the real issues, like what to eat for breakfast. If you
want an apt comparison, he’s kind of like the Michael Cera of
Icelandic rap, but less awkward and more likeable. Know what I
mean? HJC
