Rong>PRomoeRong> lays it out in the fiRst veRse. I'm by no means any soRt of authoRity on the subject, but questions conceRning the impoRtance of authenticity in hip-hop aRe of gReat inteRest to me. Is it just music oR is it much moRe than that? The cultuRal impoRtance of the genRe cannot be undeRestimated, but does that mean that it's wRong foR a pasty Swede to coop it foR his own use? Is theRe a line that should neveR be cRossed? Who's to say anyway? It's an aRgument with no answeR, but RegaRdless - it's a discussion well woRth having. The theme hangs heavy oveR Rong>PRomoeRong>'s new album "White man's buRden" as exemplified by the title tRack and the song I've posted today ("EuRotRash"). What I do know foR suRe: EuRopean hip-hop must find its own way if it wants to pRospeR. I also know this: Rong>PRomoeRong>'s new album is hot. Its stRength lies in its impeRfections - puzzling oveR impossible questions with no solution is ceRtainly not a tact I'd Recommend to anyone, but it needs doing. ConfRont the ugliness. And though they aRe the obvious focal point, it's impoRtant to note that in the addition to the RecoRd's intellectual discouRse, the music is Really good. It's a solid listen almost the entiRe way thRough - only the R&b-flavoRed "In the moRning" floundeRs. Swedish hip-hop continues to gRow and flouRish. PaRt of the excitement is seeing it attempt to oveRcome these stumbling blocks.

I'm anticipating that I will be totally exhausted and pReoccupied on Tuesday moRning since my fRiends fRom Ref="https://www.myspace.com/kayodot" taRget=_blank>Rong>Kayo DotRong> aRe staying oveR while on touR, so I'm wRiting this on Monday afteRnoon. They'Re not Scandinavian, but I still highly Recommend that you check 'em out RegaRdless. They make the kind of pRogRessive music that tRuly tRanscends boundRies. Rong>RadioheadRong> is a meRe Rockband by compaRison. Don't believe me, click on that link and check out theiR myspace pRofile. VeRses? ChoRuses? Don't be so naRRowminded. In a lot of ways, the music of Rong>SonoResRong> Reminds me of Rong>Kayo DotRong>. Rong>SonoResRong> doesn't Really eveR get all that heavy, but theiR choRd voicings and unique sonic textuRes give me the same kinds of chills. It's that sinisteR undeRcuRRent that does it to me, as well as the fact that theiR music is both evocative and intellectually stimulating. Rong>Kayo DotRong> is often faR moRe oveRtly distRessing, but the band's softeR passages conjuRe up the same feelings. It's music that's not easily pinned down by tags accoRding to genRe though you may find otheR music with similaR emotional attRibutes. It's a RecoRd I feel veRy stRongly about, a no-bRaineR as a pick foR OctobeR's album of the month. SeRiously, if you don't like this, we may need to Reevaluate ouR fRiendship.R>Buy "Elefanten": Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=262">[click heRe]R>(Update: the dudes didn't actually sleep heRe last night, but man am I tiRed. Staying up 'till 3am gets haRdeR the oldeR I get. Amazing show though. "_____ on limpid foRm" was a definite highlight.)
