Drygt två år har gått sedan Movits! släppte sin debutplatta “Äppelknyckarjazz” som tog såväl lyssnare som kritiker med storm och visade vilken mångsidighet den svenska hiphop-scenen har. “Äppelknyckarjazz” vann pris på Manifestgalan och de blev ordentligt uppmärksammade i USA efter en intervju och spelning i “The Colbert Report”. De lyckades med det otroliga att hamna på etta på iTunes hiphop-lista i USA trots att de rappar och sjunger på svenska.
Idag släpptes deras nya album, “Ut ur min skalle”, som i likhet med debuten bjuder på ösig, jazzdoftande hiphop och det lär inte göra någon fan besviket. “Ut ur min skalle” gästas av Timbuktu, Promoe, Zacke och Olle Nyman.
Movits! drar snart till USA för att spela men innan dess har de några datum kvar på sin releasturné, så befinner ni er i närheten bör ni inte missa att se dem!

The release of Zacke‘s long awaited album,Visst är det vackert, is finally getting closer and he recently released the third single, “Spela mig på radion”. The track features Movits! and gives us their view on the current state of hiphop and pop-music and the overuse of the auto tune effect (seems like Mohammed Ali aren’t the only ones annoyed with this effect). Zacke himself describes the track like this:
“Spela mig på radion” is a sarcastic kick aimed at the music business and those who are active in it and it’s dealing with todays trends that is often used by artists today. A portrait of the unestabilshed artists struggle to make his way into the grand hall to colleges with booked seats. The Jante law might be dying in Norrland, but the bitterness till lives and WTF “If you can’t beat then, join them”.
It’s been a while since we updated The Salad days and it’s probably going to be a little while until we can start to update it frequently again. The reason for this is because “Niklas”, who I run this blog with, is currently in the middle of moving and I’ve been stuck at work so I haven’t had time or energy to update. After the Holidays I hopefully won’t be stuck at work as much as I’ve been lately and Niklas will be seteled in so that we can start with the frequent updating again.
Since our last post much has happened. I’ve started to write and update Chords homepage (which was once a fan-page that I started when i was 15-16) and I recently joined the hiphop-comunity Whoa’s blog as a writer, which I feel very honored about I just hope that I’ll be able to reach up to the high standards that the writers today manage to keep. Right now I’ve only written the second comment on the review of “Petter – X” but hopefully you’ll see more of me there in the future.
But this blog isn’t supposed to be about me, then nobody would read it. It’s about Swedish hiphop and since our last post so much has happened on the Swedish hiphop-scene that it’s impossible for me to even be able to sum it up! So I’ll just try to give you some of the highlights.
Allyawan (who we’ve written about earlier) has finally released his mixtape “Blu Duk Tales Vol.2″ and it’s smoking! The mixtape is released as a free download on whoa!
Recently Swedish producer Masse released his mixtape “Gott & Blandat #2“ which features some of Swedens greatest MCs right now and Masse really proves why he’s considered one of Swedens best producers. The mixtape is avalible for free through Whoa and as if that wasn’t enough he is, in collaboration with whoa, giving you an early christmas present in the form of “Gott & Blandat #1“. This mixtape was released in 2001 and this is the first time it’s avalible in digital form.
But Masse and Whoa aren’t the only ones giving away early christmas presents! DJ/Blogger/Hip-Hop connaisseur DJ Sleepy is giving away a special Petter X-mas mixtape. The mixtape contains freestyles, rare tracks, remixes, blends and some tracks that didn’t make it to his last full lenght album, “Goddamnit”.
Another early Christmas present comes from Prop Dylan and producer Logophobia in the form of “The Morning After EP”. The EP is released through Kingsize Magazine and Prop Dylan keeps showing why he is one of the most promising MC’s right now! He also recently released a video to the track “Top of the top” which features guest appearances from Promoe and Caribinghi
While I’m on the subject of videos I thought I just post one last thing that’s happened since our last post. The group Movits! who released their debut album “Äppelknyckarjazz” earlier this year (I feel a bit embarassed that I haven’t written about them earlier) just released the video to their third single called “Fel del av gården” and I really dig their jazzy-organic sound! The video is directed by Axel Söderlund
Well I think that’s all I can manage to write in one post, hopefully you didn’t fall asleep while reading it. TSD will take a break (yeah I know we haven’t updated the site anyways, but now it’s officially a break) but we will return after the holidays. We have some ideas that we’ll hopefully realise in 2009 and we’re working on a project together with the very secret blogger Majestic Flow which will hopefully be finished during the first quarter of 2009!
Until then TSD wishes you a Merry christmas and a Happy New year!
