Tarrak, born Josef Tarrak-Petrussen in 1998 in Nanortalik, is a Greenlandic rapper known for politically charged lyrics about colonialism, identity and the relationship between Greenland and Denmark. He broke through in 2016 with the song 'Tupilak' from his debut album 'FxGxS', which sparked widespread debate in Greenland. In 2023 he became the first Greenlandic rapper ever to perform at Roskilde Festival and has since received several awards, including the Talent Prize at the Koda Awards and Greenland's Self-Government Encouragement Award.
