JuJu Publishing/Universal Publishing signs Promoe & Supreme

JuJu Publishing / Universal Music Publishing has signed a publishing deal with Supreme and Promoe from The Looptroop Rockers. The deal was inked right before their show at “Allhuset” in Stockholm last saturday.

Looptroop Rockers (formerly known as Looptroop) released their third album “Good Things” last wednesday and the album has been well recieved by the audience as well as the critics (we’ve already praised it so I don’t have to go into details about how great it really is). Looptroop Rockers will be out on tour until early autumn. For tourdates check their hompage.

Featured on the picture is: Jonas Wikström (Universal Publishing), Promoe & Supreme (Looptroop Rockers) and Mikael Wadström & Claes Uggla (JuJu Publishing). Don’t be alarmed I’m sure they’re not as dangerous as they look. 

Looptroop – Prayin On A Liver [Video]

Looptroop’s new album “Good Things” is now available in all great stores across the globe (HHV.de, iTunes etc). I am not going to talk more about it because you all out there ready know how god damn good that record is.. Anyway, a remix of Looptroop’s cover of Bon Jovi’s “Living On A Prayer” has been released at their website. It’s called “Prayin On A Liver” and features some of Sweden’s hottest rappers at this moment as we speak: Allyawan, Adam Tensta and Lazee!

You can also download it as a mp3 here (righ click, save as)!

Peshi – I Know [Live]

Swedish female rapper Peshi attended at the swedish TV program “Garage” a week ago. The song is called “I Know” and it has a really good vibe!

If you haven’t heard Peshi before, she has been a part of the Swedish hip hop scene for the last ten years doing performances at Sweden’s biggest festivals (Hultsfred for example) and opening ups for artist like Sage Francis, Brother Ali and Atmosphere. Go check out her MySpace right away!

Afasi & Filthy – Jobb [Video]

The video to the second single (which we wrote about earlier) from Afasi & Filthys debutalbum, “Fläcken”, is out now! The video is directed by Erik Berggren for Kamisol

“Fläcken” is out now on P.O.P.E Records and if you haven’t already you should buy it ASAP. In my humble opinion it’s one of the best albums released this year!

Good Things – Album Premiere

Starting today and one week a head you can listen to Looptroop’s forthcoming album “Good Things” on their MySpace. They have also started a video blog on MySpaceTV every day for a week.

The album sounds daaamn good, so make sure to have a glance at it if you now for some reason don’t listen to Looptroop Rockers otherwise.

Adam Tensta – Before U Know It feat. Sophia Somajo [Video]

“Before U Know It” is the fourth single from Adam Tenstas critically acclaimed debut album “It’s a tensta thing”. The track, which is actually a remix, has been on heavy rotation on the radio for a while and now the video is finally out. His last video “My Cool” was on MTV’s list over the 100 best videos of 2007 so of course the expectaions on this video was high.

The video is directed by Marcus Lundin and countinues in the same 80’s-neon-theme as “My Cool”.  The video is a big step forward and is definitely on of the coolest I’ve seen from a Swedish rapper.

Petter – Goda Dagars Magi [Video]

Petter, one of Sweden’s hip hop veterans recently released a banger, the music video for “Goda Dagars Magi”. The track is taken from his last album “God Damn It” which was released last year and the beat is based on Embassys “It Pays to belong”. The video is produced by Boomerangfilm.
