Lars Nesheim Vaular (born 20 September 1984) is a Norwegian rapper, singer and songwriter from Åsane, Bergen.[1] He started rapping in 2003. He initially released songs under the duo Tier'n og Lars before going solo.
Tier'n & Lars
[edit | edit source]Vaular had his beginnings as a hip hop duo formation with Fernando Manuel called Tier'n & Lars or alternatively Tier'n og Lars.[2] The two hip hop artists with Manuel known as Tier'n cooperated with the Norwegian hip hop crew Freakshow[3] with some tracks in a mixtape called We Are the Champions in 2004, followed the same year with Freakshow Presents Tier'n og Lars – Frykt og Avsky i Bergen. The limited edition was a promotional mixtape by the label Freakshow Mixtapes in Norway. The mixtape had cooperation from many artists including Tungtvann, Side Brok, Kleen Cut and F'EM.
In 2005, Tier'n og Lars released a street album Tilbake til stripa: Forberedelsen, available for free download with guest tracks by Even Brenna, Anand, Leeroy, DJ Leven, I. Forgot, Harry West and Nja'al, firmly establishing them as popular hip hop acts culminating in an album Kulturclash released on 23 October 2006.[4]
Solo career
[edit | edit source]Vaular debuted as a solo artist in 2007 with the album La Hat - Et nytt dagslys... followed by D'e glede in 2009 and Helt om natten, helt om dagen in 2010 as a major national release that reached top 3 on VG-lista, the official Norwegian Albums chart. He was nominated in 2009 for a Spellemannprisen (the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammys) in the hip hop category for his album D'e glede. His album Du betyr meg in 2011 reached Top 5. His new release is Flere steder alltid.
Vaular has worked with various artists like Tungtvann, Side Brok, Jan Eggum, Myra, Fjorden Baby!, Röyksopp and John Olav Nilsen & Gjengen.
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Lars Vaular was criticized for the controversial track "Kem skjøt Siv Jensen" ("Who Shot Siv Jensen") about the Norwegian politician Siv Jensen, leader of the populist Progress Party. This "violence" label has followed him in many comments in social media, although he claims the song was about how people were easily fooled by the headlines they read.[5]
Lars Vaular is the cousin of Sondre Lerche.
