Paweł Ryszard Mikołajuw (born 2 December 1978), also known as Popek, Popek Monster and Król Albanii ( The King of Albania), is a Polish rapper and professional mixed martial arts fighter. In 2000, together with such rappers as Bosski Roman, Tadek, Pomidor and Kali founded the group Firma. Popek creates music from the border of dubstep, Grime music and gangsta rap.
Popek left his family home at the age of 14 and therefore never got a proper education. He speaks Polish, English and German, though fluent only in Polish.

He collaborated with such artists as Chronik, Krept and Konan, Big Narstie, JME, Professor Green, Jędker, Sokół, Peja, Virus Syndicate, Tempa T, P Money, Devlin, Wiley, Małolat, The Game, Sean Price,[ Popek Monster x Sean Price x Bonson x TomB x Nizioł x Kieru "Hometown" – nowy numer] Stitches. and Big H.
Popek became famous for getting his eyeballs tattooed, and for hanging on hooks in the music video for Pain be My Guest.
