I'd say that Swedish hip-hop had its commercial peak 6 years ago with the release of Petter's second album "Bananrepubliken", but it has yet to reach its creative zenith. The only two acts that really interest me anymore are Looptroop (who got a new album coming out soon) and, to some extent, Timbuktu who has been enjoying critical acclaim and large records sales since his second album "W.D.M.D.". It's been written a lot in the Swedish press about this latest offering from Timbuktu, and how the album is supposedly inspired by a car crash that Jason Diakité (Timbuktu's real name) miraculously survived, but the album hasn't got as good reviews as his last two. For once, the press is right – this album is not as good as Timbuktu's older material but still it contains some swinging tracks.

Uncritical has posted a track from Moneybrother: http://uncritical.blogspot.com/2005/03/i-cant-say-why-i-need-you-here.html
Chris, I think you'll be happy to know that Simon ranks the album very highly, though he still feels that lead single is the weakest track. His full album review should be up either later today or tomorrow. I agree that it's a great album and I hope it catches on over here, too.
