P.) is a seminal Serbian hip-hop duo consisting of Reksona (Relja Milanković) and Ikac (Ivan Jović).
Formed in 2000, they were instrumental in the creation of the Bassivity Music label and collective, which revolutionized the regional urban sound. Their debut album, Ekipa Stigla (2002), is widely considered a classic of the genre, moving away from the parody-heavy rap of the 90s toward a more serious, street-oriented aesthetic influenced by East Coast boom-bap. Their sound is characterized by heavy use of soulful but melancholic samples, aggressive drum programming, and lyrics that provide a vivid social commentary on post-war Serbian life. Critically, they are respected for their technical proficiency and for maintaining an underground ethos even as they achieved mainstream recognition. They represent the bridge between the first wave of Balkan rap and the modern trap-influenced era, maintaining a legacy of authenticity and lyrical depth.
