Zacke
At a first glance I thought I had had a tip about yet another trucker-cap-rapping Lidingö islander who hired a pal in order to get some publicity. But then…this was something else.
Levis-commercials gone magic, at last a swedish rapper who doesn’t collect troublesome rhymes and harmful south coast beats It’s inventive and feels alive and real and somehow it fills up a kind of void in me.
“Den här ungtuppen har putsat fjädrarna sen lunchrushen” (“This young rooster has been grooming his feathers since the noon rush”) is only one of many resourceful ways in the song “BS” to establish the fact that he’s a little bit smarter than the rest in this line of business.
BS sounds like a blend of Timbaland production and JQ. The wittyness of the rhymes sound somewhat like Robert Blom with a touch of fifteen year old voice-broken provocateur – and that is definitely meant as a compliment. It adds a little edge to something that else might have been somewhat lame.
On the MySpace page there’s also a number that feels more like everyday swedish hiphop beat. “Johnny Depp 08” has got a lot of Timbuktu, which obviously ain`t ever all bad.
Your are anywayze recommended a visit to the MS page of Zacke.
