Vladan Aksentijević was born on 12 August 1977 in Belgrade, Serbia, at the time part of Yugoslavia.

He has released three studio albums as a member of Bad Copy alongside Sky Wikluh and Timbe.[1] Their humorous approach to hip-hop has attracted praise from various musicians, including Dragan Brajović and Don Trialeon. As a trio, they have helped popularize hip hop music in Serbia and former Yugoslavia in the early 21st century.[citation needed]

In 2010, Aksentijević was a featured artist on the Gru track I dalje me žele. The song achieved numerous accolades, including "The Number One Best Rap Song of 2010" by Kurir and the "Number One Best Hip-Hop Songs of the Last Decade" by Blic.[citation needed]

Other than his music career, Nigrutin has worked as a sound man at Radio SKC for 4 years, and has done work for television and film. He has appeared in various shows as a guest, including the Abarth Serbian Challenge, AmiG Show, Veče sa Ivanom Ivanovićem, Big Brother, Ja volim Srbiju, Tvoje lice zvuči poznato, Državni posao and Operacija trijumf.
