Anthony Pengel (born July 10, 1976), known professionally as U-Niq, is a Dutch rapper from Rotterdam. He was part of the rap group The Most Official.[1]
Originally interested in football (he was a youth player for Feyenoord)[citation needed], U-Niq began rapping at age 13, influenced by Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.[citation needed] His 1999 debut album Married to Music was released by Sony.[citation needed] While spending some time in jail (he did not disclose why, and says he was acquitted), he decided to rap in Dutch; his first Dutch-language album, Rotterdam, was released by Dutch hip-hop label TopNotch and contained the singles "Rotterdam" and "Klein klein jongetje".[2]
