I’m teaching rap at a hiphop school for two weeks, and I gave the students an assignment that I did myself as well. We all chose a song to make a new version of, using some of the ideas from the original song — but adding our own flavor to it. My choice was Tenor Saw’s ‘Golden Hen’ — and my version is called ‘Män som Hatar Kvinnor’. Download it here!
Recorded by Kapten Röd at his studio — big up!
This Friday I was in Stockholm doing interviews. I did one for UR’s show ‘Garage’ where I also played my next single — I don’t when they’re going to air it, but I think it’ll be next month. As you can see below I did it with the fonky fly Spiderdogs band (ok, I managed to cover Chris and Jerre’s covering Jonathan, and the bass player is outside the picture to the right — but they’re all there!), and I will be touring with them for my Swedish album this year. Tour dates will come up as soon as I get them from my booking agent. See you out there!
For our Swedish friends..

I just updated my myspace page with a new song called ‘Lullabies to myself’ which you can buy from soundquake on mp3. Kapten Röd made the riddim and Million Styles’ label Adonai Music is releasing it. Listen now!
I’ve started writing a blog (in Swedish) that I call Gammelmedia (Old Media) on Gringo’s new site. The name of the blog might reflect my ambiguous feelings for blogs, and I’m not sure I can produce texts in the pace I’m supposed to. But check it out if you want, I just wrote about the racist comments made by police in Malmö that has been heavily debated the last week.
I’ve seen from the guestbook that you’ve been waiting impatiently for this month’s Promoe song. Well, here it is! It’s called ‘Blind’, it’s produced by Astma and it features none other than Million Styles. The artwork is once again by Time Will Tell. Upliftment! Spread it to the world!
