Arkimed Lushaj (born 15 June 1986), known by the stage name Stresi, is an Albanian rapper. Stresi created his own label in 2014, BadBoys4Life.[1]

## Early life

[edit]

Stresi was born on 15 June 1986 in Tirana.[2] When he was a child, his family moved to Belgium. During his childhood years in Belgium, he sang and performed in several shows that were organized for Albanians in the diaspora.[3] He lived there for several years until 2007 when he returned to Albania to continue his career in his country. In addition of Belgium, Stresi also lived in Italy for several years.[4] The chapka boy had tried to travel with his friends to Greece, so his mother called him "Stress".[5] Stresi graduated in psychology, although he has never practiced the profession.[6] The collaborations throughout his career are numerous and his current manager is Flor Bana. Today, Stresi has many well-known friends such as Fero, Il Ghost, Morena Taraku, 2Ton, Ledri Vula, Malsho,Riflo Getinjo, etc.[7][8]

## Career

[edit]

Stresi started his career as a rapper in 2007 when he was 20 years old.[9] In 2012, Stresi was the musical ally of the Babastars label, but the alliance was destroyed in 2020 when Ghetto Geasy and Mike dissed Stresi with the song "Hajde Te Baba". Stresi responded to the diss with the song "Po Foli i Fundit".[10] Stresi is also the founder of the music label "BadBoys4Life". The members of the "BadBoys4Life" label also include singers and bands from Albania and Kosovo, such as One T, Anestezion, Pakufijt, Enes Qosa and Flor Bana.[11]
