Timbuktu & Damn! – Live!

A couple of years ago Timbuktu was on some heavy touring together with Damn! and Chords and could be seen all over Sweden. The shows were very popular and they really were something extra. Or so I’ve heard, some assclowns at megafeztival refused to pay them so I didn’t have a chance to see them in 2004 (I got to see Chords though).

Fortunately for me (and many others) they recorded some of the shows and released them on CD. The CD sold some time ago and now Timbuktu & JuJu Records are releasing it as a free download, so if you haven’t got it already this is a great chance to get one of the best live CD’s I’ve heard!

Chords – Appetite for Consumption & Places To Go

 The release of Chords higly anticipated sophomore album “Things we do for things” is getting closer and judging by the focus on him right now I’m guessing I’m not the only one looking forward to it! Last Tuesday P3 Hiphop played an exclusive track called “Stay Hungry” (those of you who has complained that he’s not”hiphop”-enough should get your hunger stilled by this track).

 And last night MTV Beat had a Chords special with interviews (in swedish only), videos and some more live-clips from the “Scandinavian Invasion”-show held in Paris a couple of weeks ago.  In the interview he says that the new album will feature more singing, on choruses as well as whole verses. Musically this album is somewhere between his last album and the albums he’s done as helt off.

The live clips featured 2 songs from the upcomming album, “Appetite for consumption” and “Places to Go”, both tracks sounds very promising and judging from what I’ve heard from this album this far It’s a classic! “Places to Go” is already a favourite and I’m keeping the video on repeat, when the album drops this track will definitely be on heavy rotation in my stereo!

Chords – Luckiest Man Alive

 

Luckiest Man Alive

The release of Chords album “Things we do for things” is getting closer and the first single “Luckiest man alive” will soon be sent out to radio stations and media. I know the info-text on Kingsize says “Don’t put this on you blog”, well I’m sorry but i have to do it. This track is pure fire and the new album looks more and more promising. So play it loud and let the people hear that Chords is back! The track is produced by Robin Asplund and Co-produced by Chords.

Chords, whom to the masses probably is mostly known for being Timbuktu’s sidekick, is finally getting ready to release his sophomore album “Things we do for things”. It’s been 5 years since his solo debut “The Garden Around the mansion” was released (and about the same time since I first saw him live with one of my worst hangovers ever) but he’s been keeping busy by releasing 2 reggaealbums under the name “Helt off” together with swedish producer “M.O.N.S” from “Breakmecanix” and numerous guestappearances as well as some heavy touring with Timbuktu and Damn!.

But now the time we all been waiting for is finally here, “Things we do for things” is due on April 30 on JuJu Records and the first single, “Luckiest Man Alive” will be sent out to media very soon! But as a sneak peak you can already download the track “Blind to the facts”. So be on the lookout, Swedens best kept secret is back! I guess I just leaked it!
