"All you need is, Radio gaga"! Always wanted to say that. Last friday I was on this brand new hiphop radio show called Fresh Coast Radio. It's hosted by my boys Ledr P and DJ Neno. The show is focused on Gothenburg hiphop and so they invited me to talk about my some of the stuff I've done these past 14 years as a DJ. It was a blast! So click on the pick and check it out.

Remember when hiphop use to be fun? Well this is a part of hiphop alot of people forgot about. All this "we thuggin-thug4life" Swedish hiphop doesn't really impress me all that much. Especially when you live in Sweden and you're probably not a killa running around loose around town. Sure, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of gangsta rap here and there. Hell I love me some good ol' fashion NWA and all that.
But when push comes to shove, I rather just listen to somebody or someone that does their own thing and doesn't pull stunts or gimmicks. I saw this video from this Gothenburg based group called Ozone Fukkaz. After it was finished I got this huge smile on my face. I really and honestly liked it. Alot actually! I've met some of the guys, I knew they were funny as hell. And the fact that they took that naturally funniness (is that an actual word?!) and put some raps along with it rally made me enjoy the video and their whole style. Don't get me wrong, this is isn't just a goofy home made video with kindergarden raps. These guys can rap and the beat reminds me of some ATQC- type of feeling. No, the thing that made like this shit was the fact that they are just doing their own thing. Plain and simple. I know that there's alot of talent out here in Gothenburg, and Ozone Fukkaz are definitely one of them.

My boy Vic Vem is one half of Parham & Vic and is one of the rappers that holds in down out here in Gothenburg. I was approached a month ago to put some cuts on this new song he made called "Passagerare". As soon as I heard it I felt like this is a real good track with a great message. Real proud of these guys, they always make tracks that mean something. And that is exactly what Pharcyde use to preach about. Check out the video!
