Promoe – Shoot Me

Promoe released a new track a couple of days ago at Looptroop Rockers website. It’s produced by a norwegian producer called Jason Dean Beats. I haven’t heard anything from Jason Dean before but according his MySpace he has recently worked with Prop Dylan and Big Shug (!) which sounds really promising. The cuts is made by another Oslo based producer/dj – Dj Final.

I’m not that fund over the lyrics, feels kinda like a cliché BUT I do like the sad story in contrary to the happy beat with the laidback cuts. And hey, Promoe delivers over Jason Deans playful beat. It’s a well produced track definitely deserved to be downloaded which you can do here below:

Carlito – Babylon Brinner (TSB Remix)

Carlito, an upcoming rap artist here in Sweden released “Babylon Brinner” feat. Jacco & Aki last summer which was well appreciated by the audience. The track was produced by Masse (TSB). Now Masse has kindly released a really nice reggae remix of the track!

Carlito might be an upcoming artist but he ain’t a rookie. For those who don’t know, he used to rap in the constellation “Konkret Konspiration” in 2000 who featured “Streetzone Records – Jakten på Under Orden Vol. 2” with their track “Snicksnack”. Since then, Carlito has been inactive but started to kick again last year which ended up with a guest spot at Masses tape “Gott & Blandat #2” with the track “D Sån Där“.

This year he has released “Säg Pass” at whoa.nu, featured STORs mixtape “Skolans Nya Ledare” and have featured several gigs with Labyrint.

Promoe – Dressed To Kill Under A Full Moon + Gunz

Sorry for completely missing out to blog about Promoes last two songs of the month. But better late then never I suppose and hey, Promoe is one month late with a track!

The track for July is called “Dressed To Kill Under A Full Moon” and the beat is signed Jimmy Ledrac who also produced “Sunday Morning“. The variation of the tracks sound is kinda wide which is highly appreciated.

For August we have “Gunz” featuring no other than the jamaican reggae artist Lutan Fyah. The title itself gives you a great hint what the track is about and Dj Large gives you that classic reggae vibe to it. Makes me go back and spin Promoes album “Long Distance Runner“.

Video and Mixtape from Promoe

Earlier this year Promoe released “Kråksången” which was his first album in Swedish and even if you haven’t hear the whole album I’m guessing you’ve heard the hit single “Svennebanan“. It seems that he enjoyed rapping in Swedish and the recently released mixtape “Bondfångeri”is completely in Swedish (apart from a track by “Per Vers” which is in Danish). The mixtape is available in digital form through iTunes Store, Spotify or for free from Looptroop Rockers homepageand the CD will only be sold at shows. “Bondfångeri” features guest appearances from Allyawan, Afasi, Cosmic, Embee(Yes you read right!), Organismen, Per Vers, Sam-e, Supreme and Timbuktu. The amazing artwork (which continues in the same line as “Kråksången”) is designed byInk Graphix.

Ison & Fille – Ikväll är vi kungar

The first single, “Jag skrattar idag“, from Ison & Fille‘s forthcoming album “För Evigt” was released a couple of weeks ago.  The track caused some confusion among fans since, despite saying it was an Ison & Fille track, it only featured verses from Fille. Now it’s time for the second single, “Ikväll är vi kungar” and this time it’s Ison who’s doing it solo.

The track is produced by Beatsurgeons and features Birgit Bidder on song. The video is directed by Alexander Widerberg.

“Ikväll är vi kungar” can be downloaded for free during a limited time from wonlove.se

Promoe – Generation Kill

… but can we blame the children when they kill the children / and can we blame the young men when they become the gun men / when we create the monster but let’s expose the sponsor / cus i wanna know who’s responsible.

Finally the song of the month for June by Promoe has arrived from the Basecamp Studios. This time the song of the month is produced by Mr Sloap, a riddim/reggae producer based in Skåne, Sweden. Hanouneh, who is completely unknown for me, is backing up on the vocals and she pulls it off great. According to her MySpace profile she is a former jazz vocalist who has moved on to reggae and hip hop with a political message in her songs. She and Mr Sloap runs a label together called DonDada where they produces and distrubuting reggae and dancehall music.
