Kano – Hustler (Behind The Scenes)

At the age of 23 UK MC Kanohas already established himself as one of UK’s top MC’s and he has managed to release 4 mix-tapes and 2 albums. Now he’s getting ready to release his 3rd full lenght album, entitled “140 Grime street” which is scheduled to be released on the 29th of September.

The first single is called “Hustler” and features guest appearances from Adam Tensta and Lazee! (Did you think that I’d forgotten that this is a blog about Swedish hiphop!?) The video and single is not out yet but “Holy Moly” visited the set and did a short interview with Kano (in the video clip you can also catch a short glimpse of Lazee and Adam Tensta).

I’m really looking forward to hearing the full song, I’m especially glad that Lazee is hooking up with a UK artist again and hopefully he’ll get that grime-sound that got me listening to him. No release date for the single has yet been revealed (as far as I know) so for now you have to settle with this snippet.

It seems that Adam Tensta and Lazee will only be featured on a Swedish Remix and not the official single, this is of course still exciting but nowhere near as exciting as i first thought.

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)!

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.

Adam Tensta – Up And Comming feat. Eboi

 Adam Tensta
Adam Tensta is currently one of the brightest shinings stars on the Swedish Hiphop-scene. Last year he released his debut album “It’s a Tensta Thing” which was well recieved by the critics as well as the audience. and he won the Swedish Grammy awards for best “Dance/Hip Hop/Soul” 2008. The album mixes hiphop with House/Electro, thus making the sound very club-friendly. But even though it all may sound like club-bangers he still writes conscious lyrics, something that has made some ciritcs claim that he’s the future of Swedish hiphop. Now he and RMH ent are releasing a new track for free on playahead.se. The track, that is called, “Up And Comming” is produced by “Howard Who” and features “Eboi” who hopefully will get some more recognition this year (he definetly outshines Adam on this track!).
