Stig Dogg

Just one of the many guises of Finnish rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Pasi Siitonen, Stig Dogg is a Helsinki-based rapper who has earned his popularity with tracks that touch -- satirically more often than not -- on well-loved subjects like sex and partying. In addition to his work as Stig Dogg, Siitonen has also taken on the moniker of Musha Basha -- a producer and performer of house and electronic music -- and as a hip-hop producer goes by the name Hullukoira (Mad Dog). His debut album, Stig Dogg, was released in 2006 and was a moderate hit, cracking the Top 40 in Finland. His 2007 follow-up, Stigidilaatio (released on Muumaa), was a bigger hit, cracking the Top Ten and peaking at number eight. ~ Chris True
