Swedish hip-hop has been getting some international attention recently thanks to the likes of myspace.com/adamtensta" target="_blank">Adam Tensta and myspace.com/mrlazee" target="_blank">Lazee, but as is often the case, I don't believe that they represent the best Sweden has to offer. As far as pop music goes, it's fine, but it's lacking identity and meaning. Naah, I much rather listen to myspace.com/fattaru" target="_blank">Fattaru or maybe myspace.com/snookonline" target="_blank">Snook. But what I really like is stuff like Looptroop Rockers, one of Sweden's longest-running and most respected hip-hop groups. As with m/mp3.php?t=652">yesterday's post on Lack, the guiding principle of social consciousness is key. Not just good music, but music with purpose. And I have to say, their new single "The building" is great and that bodes extremely well, not only for the forthcoming album "Good things", but also for Swedish hip-hop in general. Not that I'm saying this should be a crossover success, but then again, maybe it could y'know? I wouldn't complain.
