MP3: Fronda - Andas

So much free music out there, yet so little is worth hearing. As with yesterday's post on the High Hats, I'm here to help you cut through the muck as best I can. I suspect a lot of people overlooked my notice that Swedish hip-hop artist Fronda was offering up a full album for download and that's a shame because it's one of those rare exceptions where the music is actually worth hearing. Fuck all those endless Christmas singles/EPs/whatever; I'm sick of that shit before we even get to December. This is far more interesting, especially since it's been somewhat of a weak year for Swedish hip-hop. Obviously I'm not up on every release, but if Adam Tensta and Lazee are the best of the best, that's sad. Besides, the best Swedish hip-hop is almost always på Svenska. Now I can't say that this particular track ("Andas") breaks new ground or will blow minds, but it's 100% solid and that's all that matters. Hopefully it's enough to convince you to download the rest at the very least, or even make a donation. Good music deserves to be heard.
