I've been meaning to post this one for a while, but my personal rip is 192 kbps which I made years ago and I can't find the CDr I ripped it from (yes I have this one on CDr, actually I have two because one was damaged beyond repair and I finally found another) so up until now I didn't have the means to do this justice. Thanks to Chris I now have a vinyl rip that sounds good and is variable bitrate so good news on that front.
I've always liked these guys. Marcus Graap's got a dope voice for rapping, as does Bashie and the beats have an old school grime that I enjoy. Add to that the fact that they speak English, and the kind of cool international feeling I admit to getting when I kick it to European rap and they're about the best hip hop to come out of Sweden that I'm aware of.
Marcus is now half of Zucchini Drive along with Speed Dial 7 from Cavemen Speak. I gotta say I prefered when they both mostly rapped (Zucchini Drive is something more rap adjacent), but I'd still recommend their work as well.
I guess that's it. Time to post some music and eat some dinner. Stay tuned for more next week, thanks for sticking with us!
Enjoy Cashew Fenny!
i wasnt aware of the whole zucchini drive connection thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is a great album. The connection with Cavemen Speak ran deep around the early 2000's and some other killer side-projects came out of it such as The World After 4/02 which was the same line up as Zucchini Drive doing some dope rap. Their 'Vikings & Waffles' album is fantastic. Also, these 2 plus Nomad of Cavemen Speak and Bleubird with Xndl doing beats were Gunporn whose only album 'Pretty Pretty Please' is another classic. Well worth checking out.
