Kevin Zans Ansong a.k.a. Negros tou Moria

Negros Tou Moria, also known as Black Morris, is the approximate translation of its original Greek name. The name cleverly plays with words, referencing Geros Tou Moria, a legendary general of the Greek revolution against Turkish occupation. This wordplay aptly captures the artist’s ethos, creativity, and cultural dichotomy. Black Morris embodies 21st-century inner-city Athens, speaking about and to its disenchanted youth with his tenacious swagger. NTM, or ‘Black Morris,’ is best described as one of the most promising Greek rappers to have emerged in recent years. He possesses an unparalleled flow, prodigious beats, and music that draws inspiration from both Europe and the US. Supported by a modern melting pot of highly talented young producers and artists from diverse ethnic backgrounds, he has established himself as a force to be reckoned with. Born to Ghanaian parents in the economically depressed Athenian district of Ambelokipi and growing up in and around the neglected Kipseli neighborhood, Black Morris took his first tentative steps into the world of Greek rap alongside the legendary MC TakiTsan. Since then, he has developed his unique and intuitive voice among the new generation of artists in his hometown.
