Frenkie

Adnan Hamidović (born 31 May 1982), known professionally as Frenkie, is a Bosnian rapper, songwriter, author, and graffiti artist. One of the most prominent figures in Balkan hip-hop, he is recognized for his socially and politically conscious lyrics; addressing corruption, nationalism, and post-war realities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Frenkie was born in Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, then part of Yugoslavia. During the Bosnian War, his family moved to Nuremberg, Germany, where he was introduced to hip-hop music and graffiti culture. After returning to Bosnia in 1998, he settled in Tuzla, where he became active in the local underground hip-hop scene.

In 1999, Frenkie co-founded the hip-hop collective FMJam [bs], a platform for independent artists based in Tuzla. He became part of the group Disciplinska komisija, along with notable regional rappers including Edo Maajka.

He initially collaborated with Edo Maajka on early projects, gaining recognition for his energetic delivery and lyrics addressing post-war Bosnian identity and social injustice.

Frenkie released his debut solo album, Odličan CD, in 2005. The following year, his politically charged album DOSTA! featured the controversial track "Mr. Policeman", criticizing police corruption. The song attracted significant media attention and led to Radio Sarajevo being fined for broadcasting it.

In 2007, he released Povratak Cigana (Return of the Gypsies), followed by Protuotrov (2009), and Troyanac (2012), albums that further solidified his reputation as a socially engaged artist.

His song "Soundtrack" was featured in the 2008 Marvel film The Incredible Hulk.

In 2016, Frenkie collaborated with Bosnian rapper Kontra and producer Indigo on the album Putanja, blending hip hop with electronic influences. The trio gained international exposure and performed across Europe.
