Earlier this year Promoe released “Kråksången” which was his first album in Swedish and even if you haven’t hear the whole album I’m guessing you’ve heard the hit single “Svennebanan“. It seems that he enjoyed rapping in Swedish and the recently released mixtape “Bondfångeri”is completely in Swedish (apart from a track by “Per Vers” which is in Danish). The mixtape is available in digital form through iTunes Store, Spotify or for free from Looptroop Rockers homepageand the CD will only be sold at shows. “Bondfångeri” features guest appearances from Allyawan, Afasi, Cosmic, Embee(Yes you read right!), Organismen, Per Vers, Sam-e, Supreme and Timbuktu. The amazing artwork (which continues in the same line as “Kråksången”) is designed byInk Graphix.
On top of this the video to the second single from “Kråksången”, called “Mammas Gata”was released 2 days ago. The video (and track) features guest appearances from Andreas Grega, Supreme and Timbuktu. The video is directed by kamisol
The video for Embee’s latest single “Desire To Be Free ft Nina Ramsby” has recently been released. It might not look that fancy for a start, but it is really a well directed video by Carl-Michael Herlöfsson who has captured the vibe for the single totally. A mellow video which takes the single to a new level.
Embee, who use to call him self “Dj Embee” back in the days when he founded Looptroop Rockers in 1991 together with Promoe, recenlty released a single. “Desire to Bee” is featured by singer Nina Ramsby and is of course produced by Embee in the notorious “Wax Cabinet”.
For me, Nina Ramsby has until now been an completely unknown artist, but she does have a great voice and the collaboration between them both in this track is really a great match. The track takes me back to his fantastic solo album “Tellings from Solitaria” when he released the single “Not Tonite” featuring another unknown artist (for me), Vanessa Liftig. Let’s hope there is a solo record in the making because I want another “Tellings from Solitaria” this summer.

In between shooting the video for the first single of his upcoming album and teaching rap at a hiphop-school, Promoe still manages to keep his promise of releasing one track each month. Today he’s releasing his march-track, called “The Logic of Dreams”, through Looptroop Rockers homepage. The track is produced by Astma & Rocwell who has also been involved in all of the previous tracks this year and Promoe has this to say about the track:
“It was recorded during one of many late night sessions in Astma’s studio (just like ‘New Day’ and ‘Blind’ were), when people finally have stopped calling and emailing for the day. A perfect time to be creative. Enjoy!”
Promoe is also sharing a track that he recorded in 2005 together with Cosmic and Tenor Diamond. The track is called “Bureaucrazy” and for those of you who haven’t heard it before I really recommend you to download it!
DLX Entertainment has just released the first episode for their own web tv “DLX Tv”. Interviews with Form One and Astma about their upcoming album “Behind Blue Eyes” and shout outs from a bunch of swedish rappers; Adam Tensta, Million Stylez, Daniel Adams-Ray (Snook), Maskinen, Promoe and Embee from Looptroop Rockers, Allyawan, Ken Ring and Paragon.
It’s been a while since we posted anything new on this blog, I don’t think we’ll back at frequently posting yet (I don’t have internet in my apartment and my partner in crime is very busy at the moment) but we’ll try to update as often as possible.
To start things off we though we would give you a remix to one of this years hottest tracks, “The Building” by Looptroop Rockers. The funky remix is done by producer/rapper/singer Chords
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.
