Lud

Janko Janićijević, known as Lud and Džejson Lud, is one of the pioneers and veterans of the Belgrade and Serbian hip-hop scene. His work belongs to the generation that built Serbian rap while studios, media space and the scene’s infrastructure were only beginning to emerge.

As a performer and studio professional, he contributed to the development of an authentic local sound and worked with younger artists who followed his generation.

On Budjenje, he discussed the beginnings, development and challenges of Serbian rap, the experience gained over the years and the importance of each artist building an original voice instead of copying others.
