Swedish hip hop has always been a stronghold in Scandinavia and their love of the art of hip hop has never faltered, from graffiti to rap. Now, putting themselves alongside the likes of Looptroop and Organism 12, Trainspotters have released a free mixtape called The Grip Tape, to showcase their talent and love of skating.
The beats on this mixtape, from the likes of Academics, Phunk 2 and Flinta, bump like the party is never going to stop, allowing rappers Kap and Rewind to throw their energetic flows to come to the fore. And don’t worry, for all you people scared of listening to foreign hip hop, the MCs rap in English and boy do they do it well.
The track you can hear by clicking above is That’s How and gives a perfect example of why these kids needs to be listened to. An album may well be coming this year, so get hyped with this mixtape, which you can download from their MySpace.
Abjekt.
