Petter, Ison & Fille och Mogge – För Alla Dom (Video)

We wrote about “För Alla Dom” a week ago and now the single and video is finally released! “För Alla Dom”, which is a collaboration between Petter, Ison & Fille and Mogge, is released as part of the alternative christmas show “Oh no…It’s Christmas“.  The single is available through iTunes Store for 18 kr and it’s definitely worth the money! The track is really great and all surplus from the single will be donated to “Situation Stockholm”.

The music video can be viewed through Aftonbladet TV!

Update: The video is now avaliable on youtube aswell.

Lazee – 1st Class 5 Stars (Season 2)

We’ve written plenty about Lazee in the past and by now he shouldn’t need any introduction. The first “First Class Five Stars” mixtape was released earlier this year and featured guests such as Adam Tensta, Kano, J-Son & Skrilla Kidz. Now it’s time for the second installment in the series, “First Class Five Stars – Season 2”. Even though I liked the first installment I still felt it weren’t near the brilliance of his first tape “It Is What It Is” but I was glad that it wasn’t as (in my opinion) commercial as the debut album “Setting Standards”. On “First Class Five Stars – Season 2″ Lazee has upped his game and he says on his blog that:

“this mixtape is not only a mixtape its a mixtape album and the difference between those two is that I put a lot of work, organizing and planning for this tape…”

Something which, from what I’ve heard from the tape so far, I believe. This mixtape definitely outshines “First Class Five Stars” and it really sounds like he’s put in a lot of work into this!

Kaanquest – Waiting For The Bus

We wrote about Kaanquest yesterday but this track was to good not to write about. The track is entitled “Waiting for the bus” and is a storytelling track which aims to be a contrast to the more commercial sound of a lot of the hiphop today. “Waiting for the bus” is produced by The Busdriver and was chosen as “Mp3 of the week” last week on the community Whoa.

The track can be downloaded from Whoa’s blog.

Eboi – Panic

Eboi just released a new track called “Panic” and it’s his own version of the group Far och Son‘s track “Panik” from last year. The release is a collaboration between Respect My Hustle and Hybris and is available as a free download on My Best Friend is My Grind.

I’m really looking forward to hearing more stuff from Eboi. It’s definitely time that he gets some shine!

Kaanquest – The Anthem (Remix)

Earlier this year Kaanquest released “The Anthem” which was the first single from his upcoming album. “The Anthem” featured ADL and was chosen as “Mp3 of the week” on the Community/Blog Whoa.

The remix features appearances from Pato Pooh, Finess, Trainspotters, Academics, X-Man, Prop Dylan, Iron African, Kodie, Parham, Mohammed Ali, Supersci, Mojizzle, Cleo, Toffer, Hermanos Bernal & ADL.
