Marcus Kabelo Møll Mosele (born 1993),[1] also known under the stage name Slim Kamel or Kamelen, is a Norwegian rapper from Bergen.

The rapper became famous when he escaped from police custody in 2015 at the same time as he released the single "Si Ingenting" (English: Say Nothing).[3] He signed a contract with the rap collective and record label NMG/G-Huset, and in 2017 he released the album Ambivalent.[4] He was nominated for the Spellemannprisen 2018 in the year's breakthrough class with Gramostipend.[5] Ahead of P3 Gull 2021, he was nominated for the categories artist of the year and song of the year for "Creme de la crème".[6] He won the Spellemannprisen 2021 in the class hip-hop for overall production from 2021.[2]

Biography[edit]

He grew up in Bergen. Mosele's youth was turbulent without a father present, and he was sent early to a special school for youth with behavioral difficulties. Mosele himself describes his upbringing as nice, but with a lot of "nonsense and fanfare".[7]

In 2014, Mosele was sentenced to two years in prison for two episodes of violence, where, among other things, he hit a random passerby in the head with cobblestone.[8] Mosele escaped on his way to custody, but was arrested by police during a performance at a pub in Bergen two months later.[3][9]

In 2018, the police stopped a concert where Mosele performed. Several people, including Mosele, were arrested.[10] The arrest took place after he allegedly shouted "transl. fuck the police" from the stage.[11] Among other things, cocaine was found on the Mosele during the incident. After initially refusing a summons of NOK 12,000, he was sentenced in Kristiansand district court on 23 September 2020 to pay a fine of NOK 8,000 and NOK 2,000 in court costs.[12]
