Norwegian rapper Mads Veslelia is gaining internet notoriety for sounding and looking suspiciously like a young Slim Shady.
Mads, 24, has a big following in his homeland of Norway, but is now starting to pick up interest further afield for being Eminem’s doppelgänger. While his vocals sound a bit like Slim, his mannerisms, blonde hair and clothing all scream Marshall Mathers. In a good way of course.
Veslelia is quick to shoot down any similarities between himself and Mathers, even taking to twitter to address the statements.
@steven_cunt @PigsAndPlans @ComplexMag I’ve never said that, I’ve said the opposite.. It’s impossible to be the next Eminem and I don’t try.

Comparisons aside, Veslelia is good enough to make it big off his own back – this guy has some serious talent. He live streams tracks to his YouTube followers every Sunday, all while putting in a waffle order with his grandma.
If you like what you hear, be sure to check out Mads Veslelia on his facebook page and show him some serious support – this guy nails it.
