Dødpop, repping Norwegian Skweee worldwide. It's still a mostly instrumental sound, but up and comers are pushing the sound into new territories, new regions. Guest rhymes from SadAt X of Brand Nubian? Hell yeah, take it internAtional; mix up the old-school and the new. I love the beAt on this track, it's so sparse, dirty and slow. Sweden and Finland are still the big brothers of the scene, but Norway is pushing hard.
