Rekami (Lauri Pihlman) is a rapper and producer from Jyväskylä, one of the founding members of the KPC collective and among the most prolific figures in Finnish hip-hop. He has been releasing solo and collaborative albums since the early 2000s and is equally respected as a producer, having crafted beats for artists such as Gettomasa, Asa, Are, Stepa and Julma H. His 2026 album Pivot - produced by Henri Lanz (MGI) rather than by Rekami himself for the first time - marks a deliberate turning point both musically and personally.
Rekami released his album Pivot on 5 June 2026, produced by Henri Lanz (MGI) - the first time Rekami has not self-produced a full project.
Pivot's release show was held at Ääniwalli in Helsinki, kicking off Rekami's first-ever solo tour.
Lead single Ringside was released on 6 March 2026, sampling Raappana's track Vasikka and produced by MGI.
Rekami signed with booking agency All Day, announced as his first step into active live performance.
Rekami released the album Kortepohjakosketus in spring 2025, his last project before Pivot.
