We’ve written plenty about Lazee in the past and by now he shouldn’t need any introduction. The first “First Class Five Stars” mixtape was released earlier this year and featured guests such as Adam Tensta, Kano, J-Son & Skrilla Kidz. Now it’s time for the second installment in the series, “First Class Five Stars – Season 2″. Even though I liked the first installment I still felt it weren’t near the brilliance of his first tape “It Is What It Is” but I was glad that it wasn’t as (in my opinion) commercial as the debut album “Setting Standards”. On “First Class Five Stars – Season 2″ Lazee has upped his game and he says on his blog that:

“this mixtape is not only a mixtape its a mixtape album and the difference between those two is that I put a lot of work, organizing and planning for this tape…”

Something which, from what I’ve heard from the tape so far, I believe. This mixtape definitely outshines “First Class Five Stars” and it really sounds like he’s put in a lot of work into this!

Mohammed Ali released their album “Processen” earlier this year as a free download through the hiphop-community whoa. Since then they’ve been doing gigs all over Sweden and has really shown that they’re here to stay. “Processen” recieved great reviews from the press and Mohammed Ali is currently one of the most talked about groups on the Swedish scene. Now it’s time for their second video from the album, “Lever för det här”, which features Danjah.

The video is produced by Concrete Steppa Pictures and directed by Oliver Martin Henriquez.  Assistant director: Duncan Mukada.

It’s been two years since Stor released his mix-tape “Dikter ifrån bikten” and since then much has happened. Stor left the group Vendetta to focus on his solo career and has started to work with The Salazar Brothers. He is now also part of the Ayla collective consisting of  Mack Beats, Carlito and  Mohammed Ali. The last release from Ayla was the critically acclaimed mix-tape “Processen” by Mohammed Ali and now the time has finally come for Stor to drop his album, called “Nya Skolans Ledare”.

The first single from the album, “Stockholmsnatt” featuring Adam Tensta and Danjah, was released in November last year and the album was originally scheduled for release in December last year. So a lot of people have been waiting for this (me included) but it was well worth the wait, Stor and Ayla really proves that they are in fact “Leaders of the new school”. The album is produced by The Salazar Brothers, Mack Beats, Masayada and Ears and it features guest appearances from Adam Tensta, Danjah Fille, Jacco, Mohammed Ali, Petter, Promoe,and Sepideh Vaziri.

“Nya skolans ledare” is available for free through Whoa, Playahead, TopStreetWear and MyBestFriendIsMyGrind.

This year is definitely belonging to Ayla and their next release seems to be Mack Beats solo album.

Despite his age 21-year old rapper “Stor” has been a part of the Swedish rap-scene for around 10 years now (I remember listening to him and “Liten” when I was 14) and even though he hasn’t released any full lenght album he has still gained a reputation as one of Swedens illest rappers. He is probably most known for being a part of the group Vendetta who won “Show Stockholm” in 2004 (whatever happened to Vendetta by the way?) but has now started to focus on his solo career.

Backed by The Salazar brothers and RMH’s new project “My Best Friend Is My Grind” he is no getting ready to release a sequel to his brilliant mixtape, “Dikter ifrån bikten“. The First track out from this mixtape is “Stockholmsnatt” which features guest appearances from Adam Tensta and Danjah and is produced by Masse. The mixtape which will have the same name as the first single is due to be released somtime during this autumn/vinter!

Update: The track is now avalible for download at The Soul Lounge!
