Paweł Ryszard Mikołajuw ⟨ IPA: /ˈpävɛw ˈrɨʂärt ˌmʲikɔˈwäjuf/⟩ (born 2 December 1978), also known as Popek, Popek Monster and Król Albanii (The King of Albania),[2] is a Polish rapper and professional mixed martial arts fighter. In 2000, together with such rappers as Bosski Roman, Tadek, Pomidor and Kali founded the group Firma.[3] Popek creates music from the border of dubstep, grime and gangsta rap.[4]

Popek left his family home at the age of 14 and therefore never got a proper education. He speaks Polish, English and German, though fluent in neither.

Solo activities began in 2007, Popek has since released three albums, including one self-released. The album Monster was certified Gold in Poland and the Czech Republic. Firma has recorded 6 albums, Popek however was not involved in the production of the album NieLegalne Rytmy: Kontynuacja.

He collaborated with such artists as Chronik,[5] Krept and Konan,[6] Big Narstie,[7] JME,[8] Professor Green,[9] Jędker,[10] Sokół,[11] Peja,[12] Virus Syndicate, Tempa T, P Money,[13] Devlin,[14] Wiley,[15] Małolat,[16] The Game,[17] Sean Price,[18] Stitches.[19] and Big H.

Popek became famous for getting his eyeballs tattooed.[20] For the clip to the song Pain by My Guest, Popek hanged on hooks.[21]
