Career
JóiPé & Króli began their collaboration in early 2017 when they were both in junior college.[3] JóiPé is from Garðabær and Króli from Hafnarfjörður.[1][3] JóiPé is son of handball player Patrekur Jóhannesson[3] and nephew of former president of Iceland Guðni Th. Jóhannesson.[6] The duo first became known for their 2017 summer hit song "B.O.B.A."[3][2][7] It topped Icelandic music charts[3] and (although being extremely disputed) has been called one of the most popular Icelandic songs of all time.[8] It is a lighthearted and witty hip hop song referencing Hyundai i30 and Ronda Rousey.[3][9][7] The song's name references a well-known slipup by Bubbi Morthens in 2002 when he misspelled bomba ("bomb") when giving live commentary on a boxing match.[2][10] The song was produced by Þormóður Eiríksson[11] from Ísafjörður.[9] Later albums would also become popular in Iceland.[8] JóiPé's is noted for his baritone voice[12] which contrasts with Króli's tenor. The song "Í átt að tunglinu" won the 2018 Icelandic Music Awards as hip hop song of the year.[5] They performed the final song of the 2018 Áramótaskaupið.[13]
