Lerkot Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Some of the biggest names in Swedish Hip-Hop will perform tomorrow night (Dec. 12) in New York at Joe’s Pub. Juju Records, Ink Productions and the WESC clothing line will showcase the talents of some of Sweden’s biggest acts – some for the first time in New York. The night will include performances by Timbuktu, Looptroop, Chords, Spotrunnaz & Damn. Currently residing in New York, Timbuktu is one of Sweden’s biggest Hip-Hop acts, with five successful albums to his name. He has had several hit singles from different albums that have made it big in both Sweden and Norway, and his most recent release Alla vill till himmelen men ingen vill dö (Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven) has gone gold in both countries. "It's a personal triumph for us to even be playing here in New York,” Timbuktu told AllHipHop.com. “I still can't really believe it. It's just f**king amazing!” Timbuktu has been touring all year with Damn and Chords. With sold out shows all over Scandinavia, Timbuktu, Damn, and Chords have received over the top reviews for their live shows. Chords is preparing to release his United States debut, The Garden Around the Mansion, in 2006. The album is already available in Europe. Other acts in the lineup include Looptroop, an internationally known group that has sold hundreds of thousands of records and Spotrunnaz, a group that has been labeled one of Sweden’s best live acts, opening for the likes of Nas, Tha Alkaholiks, 50-Cent, Xzibit, Common and others. The performance takes place Dec. 12 at Joe’s Pub, located at 425 Lafayette Street in lower Manhattan. For more information visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
