90s – 00s: Retro Rhymes with Sambal Snake

Sambal Snake is an independent rapper and songwriter based in sunny Singapore. A joker at heart, he aims to bring an element of levity through his music—a unique blend of satire and mischief, packed into crafty lyrics and hard-hitting beats.

Much like the beloved Southeast Asian condiment sambal chili, Sambal Snake’s music is packed with flavour and Singaporean spice. In a modern hip-hop culture dominated by swagger, bragging and materialism, his music presents a refreshing change of pace—unpretentious and catchy tracks with a local twist, coupled with irreverent and light-hearted music videos.
