about
Cico Cimpel, a rapper and songwriter from Amsterdam with roots in Ibiza. Before releasing any official music, he built a following through short, iconic snippets on social media. These videos—often shot in a single take, mixing raw honesty with humor—became his calling card and earned him the tongue-in-cheek reputation of being “the best upcoming rapper without releasing music.” In 2025 he released his debut EP, AFGEMAAKT, bringing together the energy and emotion of his snippets into a cohesive project. Standout tracks include BFF, released in February 2025, and Asociaal, released in April 2025. The EP was praised for its direct lyrics, sharp flows and its balance between humor and vulnerability. With only a handful of official releases, Cico Cimpel has quickly established himself as a distinctive new voice in the Dutch rap scene. His work bridges online virality and traditional releases, making his trajectory one of the most closely watched in Dutch hip-hop.
