Arturs Skutelis: I'm more of a 'weird literatus' than a rapper
In an interview on Latvijas Radio's 'Monopols', rapper Arturs Skutelis described himself as a 'strange literatus' who performs his peculiar literature with music.
Arturs Skutelis, known for his work in the local hip-hop subculture, gave an unusual explanation of his creative identity in an interview on Latvijas Radio's program 'Monopols'. He acknowledged that while he is often called a rapper or musician, he sees himself differently. According to Skutelis, he is primarily a literatus who writes odd literature and performs it with musical accompaniment. This approach allows him to combine words and sound, creating a unique form of expression that doesn't fit into traditional genre boundaries. Skutelis emphasized that his work goes beyond music – it is a peculiar literary manifestation that differs from the typical rapper image.
