Petter

Petter had not been the very first Swedish MC. Neither was he one that produced Swedish a recognized language for the home hip-hop picture, that honor would go to the Latin Kings. But Petter was the 1st Swedish hip-hop designer breaking to a mass viewers, producing the genre marketable and, by that, producing way for a lot of young MCs. We were young in Södermalm, Stockholm, he was an associate of the rings Vanguards and Blacktop Dandelions, still rapping in British. But it had not been until he began composing lyrics in Swedish he got a agreement on BMG. In August 1998, he released his first recording, Mitt Sjätte Sinne, with help from Ayo, PeeWee, and Sleepy, amongst others, elements of a loosely kept together collective known as Natural Relationship. The recording got mixed evaluations but offered well, otherwise exceptional. However the year ahead, Petter’s star increased when he started receiving immense interest from press and better gigs than some other MC in Sweden. Once the second recording, Bananrepubliken, premiered in 1999, Petter had been a big celebrity. This recording was even more up-tempo, sold much better than some other Swedish hip-hop recording before, and got great press. While becoming heavily affected by American prototypes, Petter were able to place the lyrics within an understandable Swedish framework, therefore distinguishing him from a lot of his contemporaries. The tracks also got an excellent down-to-earth and sing- (or rather rap-) along quality. From the positioning he held following the second recording, he could get support from BMG to start out his personal label, Bananrepubliken, where he authorized a variety of older friends and fresh discoveries like Eye-N-I, Feven, and Ayo. Though by 2001, Petter had not been unique in performing what he do any longer, he was still undoubtedly the biggest celebrity of hip-hop in Sweden, and the main one person who got done probably the most to create it a mainstream genre.
