Laureniu Mocanu , better known by his stage name Guess Who is a Romanian rapper. He began his career as a member of the rap group Anonim along with group members Zekko and Griffo, and later launched a successful solo career in music. He is one of the most successful artists from the new wave of Romanian hip hop and has gained considerable appreciation and mainstream attention in his native Romania following the release of his first solo album in 2009 called Probe Audio . Guess Who gained popularity as a solo artist in 2007 when he leaked three tracks he had recorded for his solo album on the Internet. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and his cynical and ironic approach to writing quickly earned him a large fanbase. Even though he repeatedly delayed for over two years releasing his first album, the Romanian audience received it well and he even gained attention from high level Romanian music executives when his video for the first single Tu was aired on the Romanian music chann

Guess Who was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1986. As a child, he enjoyed sports and even played football for the Bucharestbased club Steaua. Even from that early age he became interested in hip hop music and eventually started performing with his friends creating the hip hop group Anonim in 1999. They caught the attention of Romanian hip hop group Paraziii after they entered a contest organized byCM Records where they recorded a demo song over an instrumental produced by Cheloo for Paraziii and released on one of the groups albums as a track called Actiunea Instrumentalul . They eventually signed a contract withCM Records and released their debut album in 2005. As Paraziii are one of the most proeminent hip hop acts in Romania, Anonim were heavily promoted and toured extensively to promote their album. The group went quiet in late 2006 and Guess Who surfaced alone in 2007 on Paraziii member Ombladons solo album singing the chorus in the lead single, Noapte Buna, Bucuresti . Sh
