Veritasaga is one of the most appreciated Hip-hop groups in Romania. The four members - Jhivago (MC), Praetor (MC), Dribbler (Producer) and Dj Sonia
(DJ/Turntablist) - manage to successfully combine the classic Hip-hop sound with neo-soul, chill out, alternative and electronic influences, distinguishing themselves through an unique and unmistakable style.
Formed back in the late 90's by Praetor, Jhivago and Dribbler, Veritasaga began it's musical journey at a moment when the Romanian music industry was rather reluctant towards Hip-hop. Refusing to fall within the boundaries of the industry's commercial clichés - which quickly arose in Romanian Hip-hop - Veritasaga members chose to follow their own beliefs in affirming their artistic identity. And so, own-allowance founded studio recording hours, pro-bono shows, various mixtape appearances, and numerous collaborations with underground artists followed...
In 2001, Veritasaga became one of the first groups affiliated with indie Hip-hop label Hades Records. As “underground” promotion means diversified, the Hip-hop public quickly transformed into a solid fan-base and, inevitably, Veritasaga made its mark as an important name in Romanian Hip-hop movement. They released 2 albums: “Punct si de la capat” in 2003 and “Cu alti ochi” in 2007.
