I've said before: I don't listen to a lot of hip-hop, but I know what I like. And I'm definitely into this track from Fattaru. The minimalist production is hot and the rhymes come fast and furious. Non-Swedish speakers might be better off checking out the video to better grasp the lyrical context, but I don't think it really matters in the end 'cuz the song is just too good. As Simon already said in his review, the album as a whole is kinda spotty, so I can't totally recommend it, but I'm also into all the other tracks featuring production from Salla (probably known best as one half of legendary Swedish hip-hop crew The Latin Kings), especially "Stila upp din skit". Yeah, it sounds awfully similar to "100:-" (which was produced by Pavan aka Frans Carlqvist, the founder of the sound known as skweee) with its blips and beeps melody, but whatever - it's good, so I don't care.
Fattaru - 100:-
I've been listening a lot to mediocre albums these days, and unfortunately Fattaru's latest album "Mina drömmars stad" adheres to this pattern. Their first album "Fatta eld" (released 2001) was an exercise in banging beats and hit-making, and one of my favourite hiphop albums ever (seriously). After that, Fattaru "matured" and released the jazzy and horrible "Jordnära" (2003) - an album that's best forgotten. For their third album they've gone back a bit to the more direct approach of making songs, but they've also kept a lot of their more "mature" influences, and taken some new ones on board (electro, grime, etc). All in all, it's a very diverse album that contains one fantastic song ("100 spänn"), some ok ones (e.g. "Ung snubbe", "Den där skiten"), and some other quite bad ones (e.g. "Sthlmsnatt"). If Fattaru had released another "Jordnära", I totally would have given up on them, but thanks to the better parts of "Mina drömmars stad", I'm interested to see what they've got to offer in the, hopefully not too far away, future.

Apparently the video for the new single"Hörde jag skål" features contributions from Martin Kellerman of "Rocky" cartoon fame? Anyhow, I did the minimalist sound of the production on the tracks featured at the above link.
