Noizy

Rigels Rajku (September 27, 1986), known professionally as Noizy, is an Albanian rapper and actor. Born into a multi-religious family in the small village of Sukth, he fled the country with his family in 1997 and relocated to Southeast London. Almost a decade later, he returned to Albania to participate in the third edition of the Top Fest music competition with the song “Jemi OTR.” He would come back the following year with the J-No and Decee collaborative effort “Kur vijm na.” Pak më ndryshe, his studio debut, appeared in 2009 and was followed by The Leader (2013), The Hardest in the Market (2014), and Zin City (2016), all of which enjoyed great popularity in Albania’s underground hip-hop scene. In the subsequent years, he successfully crossed over into the German-speaking market through features on Zuna’s “Nummer 1” (2017) and RAF Camora’s “Toto” (2018), both of which cracked the Top 10 in their respective countries. As a result of this, Epoka (2020), his fifth studio album, reached Number 32 in Switzerland. After a handful of non-charting singles during 2021, “Alles Gut” featuring Dardan peaked at Number 27 in Austria, Number 23 in Germany, and Number 11 in Switzerland.
