Looptroop Rockers

As always when Inc Graphix and Supreme get together to do an album cover it’s some­thing way out of the ordi­nary. I swung by their lab when i was in Gothen­burg last week and checked out what they were work­ing on. I won’t tell you too much and ruin the sur­prise, but they were sewing that shit up!

PROMOE FRÅN LOOPTROOP SLÄPPER SOLOALBUM PÅ SVENSKA.

Loop­troop är inte bara Sveriges största hiphop­grupp genom tiderna vid sidan av avsom­nade The Latin Kings. De är dessu­tom utan tvekan den mest framgångsrika sven­ska hiphop­ex­porten — ständigt på turné i såväl Sverige som utlandet.

Men när den skäg­g­pry­dde front­man­nen Pro­moe släp­per sitt femte soloal­bum är det inte bara på nytt bolag utan även på nytt språk – för första gån­gen släp­per han ett helt album på sven­ska. Albumet, som fått titeln ”Kråk­sån­gen”, släpps den 22 April på Juju Records.

Pro­moe har fyra soloal­bum och fyra album med Loop­troop i ryggen – alla på engel­ska. Under den mer än tio år långa kar­riären har Pro­moe släppt låtar på sven­ska på vinyl­tolvor och sam­lingsskivor och lev­er­erat sven­ska gäst­verser på album med bl.a Tim­buktu och Afasi & Filthy men han har aldrig tidi­gare gjort ett helt album på modersmålet.

På ”Kråk­sån­gen” med­verkar pro­du­cen­ter som Astma, Filthy, DJ Large och Jimmy Ledrac samt gäst­vokalis­ter som Tim­buktu, Supreme, Afasi, PSTQ och Vincent.

Astma-producerade “Detta Har Hänt” är första smakprovet från “Kråk­sån­gen”. Du kan ladda ner den gratis på länkarna nedan, i både mp3 och wav. Sprid den gärna.

 Last night we did a late hour show at the open­ing party for Göte­borgs 32^nd film fes­ti­val. Mas­sive party. Amaz­ing peo­ple. Thank you all, and thank you Kalle and Fredrik for pulling the strings. As the tra­di­tion goes I was also coach for a bunch of actors doing their thing on the decks dur­ing the night. Carl-Johan De Geer, Lia Boy­sen, Cecilia Frode, Mikael Marci­main, Amanda Ooms, Mark Lev­en­good & Alexan­dra Dahlström all rocked it well! I also had parisians Jerome and Sebastien from Folis­tar over, shoot­ing a doc­u­men­tary in the stu­dio and film­ing the show. Check out their work at folistar.com. P e a c e

we’ve been post­ing a lot of dvsg– and loop­troop related tat­toos, and i thought we should put up y’alls dvsg– and loop­troop pieces as well. start­ing right now with mogge’s first (but not last i guess) DVSG piece. looks to be from p-huset anna in malmö. big up!

It’s a new year, it’s a new begin­ning, it’s a new song called ‘New Day’.

Thanks to all the peo­ple we have worked with and met through­out 2008 — I hope to see I see you all again next year.

The plan for 2009 is, loosely, as fol­lows: I will release my first solo album in Swedish this spring, and Embee will also be releas­ing solo mate­r­ial dur­ing that same period (rumors claim that he has two albums in the works (!) — one of them being the fol­low up to ‘Tellings From Soli­taria’). Dur­ing the sum­mer Loop­troop will start record­ing our new album, and release for that would real­is­ti­cally be early 2010. This means that Loop­troop will not be tour­ing in 09, except for some new areas (we have dis­cus­sions with some peo­ple about tours in the US and in France for exam­ple — but more about that if it gets con­firmed). I plan a solo tour in Swe­den with my album though.

I know I said ear­lier that I would release an album in Eng­lish on the net around this time, but I need to focus on the Swedish album. So a plan I have is to, some­how (I haven’t fig­ured it out yet), release one song every month and then put it together as one album when all of them have been released. What­ever may hap­pen to that plan, here’s at least the first of those songs: ‘New Day’. Spread the love!

Pro­duced by Astma and Rocwell, released in co-operation with JuJu, DvsG and DLX. Art­work by Time Will Tell.
