Etnon
{
Etnon (formerly Etno Engjujt) were an ethnic Albanian Hip-Hop duo from Pristina, Kosovo formed in 1997. The group consisted of Genc Prelvukaj (born July 17, 1981) and Milot Hasangjekaj, known respectively as Gentz and Mc`M.
Etnon had been known for their fusion of ethnic Albanian music with rhythm of modern hip-hop. The group managed to be among the most popular acts during post-war years because of the appeal of their heavy nationalism. Their song "Albanian" from their fourth album Vitamin E was their most influential song, and has left traces in the Albanian music scene. The nationalism shown in music video for the song caused it to be banned from airing in Montenegro. Etnon produced seven albums over their 21 years of activity. The group is no longer active, as the members split in 2018. Prelvukaj stayed within the music industry as the CEO of Black Fish Entertainment and has found success in his solo career. Hasangjekaj is no longer active in the industry entirely after his solo act from 2017-2021 known as BigEm. In 2019, after the group's dissolve, many of Etnon's songs were published by Prelvukaj onto Spotify, Deezer, and iTunes via compilations.
Etnon often cooperated with other Albanian singers, such as Mad Lion, Don Arbas, Lyrical Son, Tingulli 3nt, Genta Ismajli, and Arta Bajrami.
