Ouch!

Jag är ju lite hård mot Danny Gathings ibland. Jag ska sluta med det. Danny har det svårt nog ändå – hans favoritlag är Oakland Raiders.

I den här UNT-intervjun med Gathings och Thomas Jackson berättar de också att de lyssnar en del på svensk hiphop, men mest Timbuktu och de verkar inte helt frälsta. Jag är inte sämre än att jag bjuder på tre förslag som de måhända missat. TJ and Danny, this is for you:

1. Up Hygh
Much like Carmelo, they went one-and-done. After releasing debut LP "The Venus Album" in 2006, this Swedish producer duo tragically went separate ways. But they left us some of the funkiest tracks ever recorded in this country. Five star album.

2. Spotrunnaz
Long regarded as something like the Swedish version of The Beatnuts, these dudes took pride in cranking the volume up and the crowd along with it. Definitely at their best on stage, but albums "The Spotlight" (2003) and "X-Marks The Spot" (2001) are still worth checking out.

3. Cami
Now this is some underground iddish. Cami, an integral part of the RMH collective way before Adam Tensta went major, has left the country and is not doing much music these days. If or when he returns, it'll be a comeback of Hova-like proportions – this dude is one of the best to ever rap in English in this country. No major albums released, but search and you should find plenty of nice mixtapes and singles.
