Sjaak
Mehdi Chafi (September 24, 1985) is a Dutch rapper who goes by the stage name Sjaak. He began rapping at a very young age inspired by gangsta rap and quickly made a name for himself in the underground rap circuit. After a brief stint as a member of the hip hop group Dubbel-O-Plein, he made his official debut as a solo artist with the song “Ik Heb Schijt” (2007) featuring Appa. The track garnered nationwide attention for its controversial video, in which young men with Palestinian scarves and firearms could be seen causing disturbances in downtown Amsterdam. That year, Sjaak also released his debut mixtape Éénmans Mixtape: Hits & Classics with the help of DJ Shorty, followed by his eponymous studio debut in 2008. Sjaak released his second full-length Wat Is Er? in 2012 and dropped the Loco Mexicano mixtape as well as a collaborative album with Appa under the title Wolf in 2013. In the subsequent years, his 2018 single “Stap Voor Stap,” a collaboration with house producer Kav Verhouzer, reached Number 11 on the Dutch charts, and the house-tinged, trumpet-laden single “Trompetisto” (2021) went to Number 40.
