about
Eye N'I/Eye-N-I, real name Henrik Blomqvist, is a Swedish rapper/MC and radio host. Eye N' I started rapping at the age of 11-12 in the group Point Blank Poetics, which later changed its name to Phenomena 3 aka PH3. The trio also included Profilen and DJ Snuff. After being a backup rapper for Petter and appearing on songs like "Saker och Ting", "Rulla Med Oss" and "Såklart" from Petter's second album Bananrepubliken, Eye N' I got a chance to record his first solo album which got the name Radio Revolution. In the album, he mainly criticized the music industry for becoming too commercial and that it was mostly focused on selling records instead of the music. Members of the collective Natural Bond, which consists of Petter, Thomas Rusiak, Pee Wee and Timbuktu, appear on the album, including in the song "Lär Dom". The remix of "Höger, Vänster" features Jamaican rapper Bounty Killer whom Eye N' I met while on pilgrimage in Jamaica. The album received mixed reviews and sold more than 70,000 copies. Nowadays, Eye N' I is a presenter on the radio station P5 STHLM, where he has his own program on Sundays. The name "Eye N' I" means "we" which got from the Rastafari religion. The name should also serve as a remark that he is one-eyed. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
