A blog written in English about Swedish hiphop!
The video for Henok Achido’s single “Pusher“, which I’ve wrote about a couple of days ago, has now been released. It is directed by Gustav Johansson for Boomerang Film who is behind other videos to artists such as Petter, Professor P, Snook and Veronica Maggio.
A really dope video for a dope song, isn’t it?
The date is finally set for Looptroop Rockers own Promoe fifth solo album which will be the first time Promoe releases a solo album in swedish! The album, “Kråksången”, will be released the 22th of April at JuJu Records.
Promoe has a lot of records behind him and all of them in english, so I guess you can understand now how interesting this release is for us swedish fans. He has released songs in swedish before thou, but only on 12″, compilations and various guest verses – not a whole album.
Participated producers behind “Kråksången” are Astma, Filthy, Jimmy Ledrac and Dj Large and I am stunned over that Embee hasn’t been mentioned. Oh well, you will also find guest artists such as his Looptroop Rockers colleague Supreme, Timbuktu, Afasi, PSTQ and singer Vincent.
“Detta Har Hänt” is the first track released from the album and it is produced by Astma. It is a bright storytelling song where Promoe let us all know what has happen since day one ’til now. I sure do like it, and my expectations for this album is enormous. And I don’t think I am the only one with such expectations..

The third single of Henok’s forthcoming album “Almaz Charming Child” called Pusher featuring Sophia Somajo has just been released. It is produced by the duo Astma & Rocwell. Last single, Fly Fresh, was well welcomed over in the states and mentioned on all big american hiphop blogs.
Henok keep proving with the latest single his unique style and I’m really curious on his album which drops the 25th of February. The video for Pusher will be released in a week.
The art/tattoo-studio Salong Betong in collaboration with Devrim Productions is giving you the first single, entitled Boven i dramat, from Max Peezays upcoming sophomore album which is scheduled for release sometime during spring.
The track is produced by Blast Off Productions and even though it isn’t really the grime-sound that Max Peezy is generally known for, it’s still a banger and the flow is definitely the trademark Max Peezay flow!

It’s a new year, it’s a new beginning, it’s a new song called ‘New Day’.
Promoe writes about the future at Looptroop Rocker’s own blog and lets us all know that his highly anticipated first solo record in Swedish will be released this spring. Also, Embee is currently working with his own solo material and obviously it’s two records in the making..
Another great year a head with exciting releases from DvsG! But until then can we kick back this day after New Years Eve and listen to Promoe’s new song “New Day” produced by Astma & Rocwell from the DLX family. It’s released in co-operation with JuJu, DvsG and DLX Entertainment.
