Sempliċiment Tat-Triq
It all started in a town in the Northern Region of Malta #RBT, Żdong and Ħaxxaxxin, co-founding members of the notorious Maltese hiphop crew Sempliċiment Tat-Triq (STT) stand true to their name and produce an abrasive, vitriolic style that challenges middle-class sensibilities. They mainly choose to rap in Maltese, the only semitic language written in Latin letters.
Since 2011, Sempliċiment Tat-Triq have released 3 Mixtapes Wisq Żibel (2011), Ħorrox Borrox (2012), Versi Perversi (2012) and had planned to issue a full-length album by 2013 which has not materialised as of yet. Instead, they released a Demo entitled Qumu Minn Hemm (2014). The crew were recognised for their release Iswed Tnejn Zokkor, with an MMA nomination for Best Local HipHop Track of 2012. This is not something STT typically cares for, but the Malta Music Awards elevated STT's status from being relatively unknown to becoming a big name in the local music scene, beyond the underground HipHop circuit.
In the following 2 years, Sempliċiment Tat-Triq toured in Europe 4 times, with the tour including events in France, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Greece, Slovakia, Hungary, Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Spain, and Austria.
They played squats, social centres, clubs and pubs, festivals, ruined castles, boxing rings, village squares and anywhere else deemed worthy of STT's music.
STT have now been part of countless local gigs, collaborations, and 6 European tours, including an extensive 29-day tour for their CD Album, Dellijiet ta’ l-Istess Pezza (2016), which addressed socio-political concerns and openly expressed STT's ideology.
STT never stopped from producing their art and living their message with 100% commitment. At points, life gets in the way, but this has not stopped STT, instead making them stronger and more united than ever, thanks to the loyalty and respect from their fans. This was the perfect time to introduce official new members.
2020 was the year of ongoing work and creating a bigger stronger vision for what STT represent. Sempliċiment Għal-Infinita (2021) latest album featuring REA, Bume, Ill Porcell, DJ MAC, Zack Walters & Funky Monkey.
2020 closed off with #CYPHER 2020 a small teaser of what is there to come.
The following years were a transition phase, with a lot of experimentation and changes in the lineup, and other unexpected collaborations, events, and tours.
Sempliċiment Tat-Triq will soon be back, ready to dominate the local HipHop scene, and beyond.
