Griffi

Born in Terrassa, Catalonia, in 1973, Javier Plaza Moya, also known as Griffi, has established himself in Spanish rap as a DJ and producer starting from the Barcelona scene. His career is closely linked to Sólo los Solo, a duo formed with Juan Solo, active during the 1990s and 2000s, in a hip-hop register marked by fluid productions, funk, soul and boom bap, with particular attention given to groove and sampling. Griffi is also part of the Funkomuna collective and founded the Delpalo Records label, two important frameworks for his work as a producer and facilitator within the local scene. As a solo artist, he notably released Akay Lama in the funkarreo of 2015 in 2000, followed by Strictly Jabugo Series Vol.1 / Strictly Jabugo FM in 2009, where his aesthetics blend rap, funk, breaks and references to DJ culture. Under the Chacho Brodas banner, a collective project rooted in festive hip-hop and heavily nourished by funk, he develops a facet more open to MCs and singers, with releases such as Los impresentables in 2007, Date cuenta in 2009, Prozak in 2012, Back to the Fucking Party in 2020 and Sta Mandanga in 2023. Over the years, Griffi has also produced or collaborated with several names in Spanish rap, including Mala Rodríguez, Toteking, Shotta, Tremendo or Foreign Beggars.
