Tamás Deák (born May 31, 1976[2]), better known by his stage name Speak, is a rap artist, model and actor based in Hungary.

Speak currently lives in London, England.[citation needed]
"Stop the War"
Speak is known primarily for his 2003 rap single "Stop the War".[3] A video for this single appeared on YouTube, and featured other semi-famous musicians.[4] Various commentators labeled the song as unintentional humor.[5] The song and music video were parodied on Saturday Night Live in a sketch starring Beck Bennett titled "World Peace Rap", broadcast 7th May 2017.[6]
