Mohammed Ali – Postkodsmiljonär

Igår hade videon till Mohammed Alis senste singel “Postkodsmiljonär” exklusiv premiär på SVTs blogg PSL. På bloggen kan man utöver att se videon även läsa en intervju med dem där man pratar om det kommande albumet “Vi”, mixtapet “Processen” och om videon, som de  säger de följande om:

“Det var viktigt för oss att få fram en känsla av hunger i videon, samtidigt som man blir upplyft och glad av att se den. Detta la vi då fram till regissören, som då fick någon form av breakdance-vibb av låten och ville bygga på det. Så det vi gjorde var att slå ihop våra idéer och ur det föddes då det som kom att bli videon, två unga killar från orten som tar sig in till den stressiga innerstaden och försöker tjäna en slant på något de brinner för. Vilket också speglar mig och Mohammed mycket från när vi själva var yngre och försöka få folk att lyssna på våra demos med mera.”

Videon är regisserad av Daniel Jigenstedt och låten är producerad av Masse. “Vi” släpps den 13 April och kommer att innehålla produktioner från Mack Beats, The Salazar Brothers, Dj Lastword samt Astma och gästas av Robert Athill, Kristin Amparo, Samson For President och Asha Ali.

Carlito – Babylon Brinner (TSB Remix)

Babylon Brinner

Carlito, an upcoming rap artist here in Sweden released “Babylon Brinner” feat. Jacco & Aki last summer which was well appreciated by the audience. The track was produced by Masse (TSB). Now Masse has kindly released a really nice reggae remix of the track!

Carlito might be an upcoming artist but he ain’t a rookie. For those who don’t know, he used to rap in the constellation “Konkret Konspiration” in 2000 who featured “Streetzone Records – Jakten på Under Orden Vol. 2″ with their track “Snicksnack”. Since then, Carlito has been inactive but started to kick again last year which ended up with a guest spot at Masses tape “Gott & Blandat #2″ with the track “D Sån Där“.

This year he has released “Säg Pass” at whoa.nu, featured STORs mixtape “Skolans Nya Ledare” and have featured several gigs with Labyrint.

Stor – Nya Skolans Ledare

Stor - Nya skolans ledare

It’s been two years since Stor released his mix-tape “Dikter ifrån bikten” and since then much has happened. Stor left the group Vendetta to focus on his solo career and has started to work with The Salazar Brothers. He is now also part of the Ayla collective consisting of  Mack Beats, Carlito and  Mohammed Ali. The last release from Ayla was the critically acclaimed mix-tape “Processen” by Mohammed Ali and now the time has finally come for Stor to drop his album, called “Nya Skolans Ledare”.

The first single from the album, “Stockholmsnatt” featuring Adam Tensta and Danjah, was released in November last year and the album was originally scheduled for release in December last year. So a lot of people have been waiting for this (me included) but it was well worth the wait, Stor and Ayla really proves that they are in fact “Leaders of the new school”. The album is produced by The Salazar Brothers, Mack Beats, Masayada and Ears and it features guest appearances from Adam Tensta, Danjah Fille, Jacco, Mohammed Ali, Petter, Promoe,and Sepideh Vaziri.

“Nya skolans ledare” is available for free through Whoa, Playahead, TopStreetWear and MyBestFriendIsMyGrind.

This year is definitely belonging to Ayla and their next release seems to be Mack Beats solo album.

Mohammed Ali – Hinna Hinna [Remix]

Mohammed Ali - Hinna Hinna

The group Mohammed Ali (formerly known as UKN) which consists of rappers Moms och Alias Ruggig released their album “Processen” a couple of months ago as a free download through the Swedish hip hop community Whoa. The album was their return to the spotlight after their change of name from UKN to Mohammed Ali. Even though a change of name might seem like just a PR-trick, this was clearly not the case with Mohammed Ali as the album featured a more mature sound than previously and it was obvious that they really had put down a lot of effort into their songs. The album was well recieved by the audience as well as the critics and Chepe from The Salazar Brothers even said that “this is the best album I’ve heard in 10 years!”.

The track “Hinna Hinna”, which deals with the more commercial influence in hip hop today, has been climbing the swedish national radio for a couple of months now and recently they released a remix produced by Masse.

The remix was released exclusively from Ametist blog on MTV and can be downloaded from here! If you haven’t already downloaded “Processen” I strongly advise you to do it, because it is one of best releases (so far) of 2009! You can download “Processen” from whoa’s blog. The album “Processen” is part of a trilogy and the second and third installment, “Processen fortsätter” and “Slutprocessen”, are scheduled for release later this year!
