Looptroop Rockers

Swedish hip-hop quartet Looptroop Rockers combine old-school, sample-heavy production with English-language rhymes. Produced in 1991 by high-school close friends Promoe (rapper Martin Edh) and Embee (DJ/manufacturer Magnus Bergkvist), Looptroop recruited CosM.We.C. (rapper Tommy Isacsson) in 1993 for the discharge of their debut EP, Superstars. Three Sicksteez implemented in 1995, the same calendar year they absorbed 4th member Supreme (rapper Mathias Lundh-Isén). The quartet — still known merely as Looptroop — released In the Waxcabinet (1996) and Punx Not really Dead (1998) prior to starting their very own label, David Vs. Goliath (DVSG). Their debut full-length, PRESENT DAY City Symphony, found its way to 2000. Debuting in the very best 50 from the Swedish graphs, Symphony featured among their most well-known singles, “Long Arm of regulations,” the to begin many politically billed statements through the Swedes. The Struggle Continues adopted in 2002, charting within the very best 20. For this period, both Promoe and Embee released single efforts. Authorities Music was Promoe’s to begin a half-dozen to reach within the 10 years. In the meantime, Embee’s 2004 LP, Tellings from Solitaria, garnered the maker a Swedish Grammy. In 2005 Looptroop reconvened for his or her third LP, Fort Europa. Peaking at quantity five within the Swedish graphs, the album’s name monitor continuing their outspoken criticism of the federal government (this time around against Sweden’s immigration plans). After advertising for Fort Europa concluded, CosM.We.C. amicably parted methods using the group. The trio used the brand new moniker Looptroop Rockers and released their 4th effort, GOOD STUFF. Another Best Five effort, GOOD STUFF featured looks by Mapei, Timbuktu, Alibi, and CosM.We.C. within the monitor “Al Mazika.” CosM.We.C.’s lack wouldn’t normally last very long, as the MC rejoined the team this year 2010, just with time for the discharge of their fifth LP, Professional Dreamers, in 2011. In 2013 Looptroop Rockers proceeded to go inside a different path and released their 1st Swedish-language work, Mitt Hjärta är En Bomb. Offering looks by Cleo, Kapten Pole, Seinabo Sey, and José González, the recording incorporated an electric sheen and debuted in the very best Ten. A yr later, the Nude Swedes was released. It included guests like Sabina Ddumba and Deacon and Natti of CunninLynguists, and a coming back place from Seinabo Sey. “Town Camo,” the first one from their 8th effort, premiered in 2017.
