So as you might guess from the foto.
Gatutalang asked me during our inteview last tuesday to
be his manager.
The question came out of the blue and was a big surprise
to me because being a manager shows the trust he has in me.

But let me tell you what big plans we have for this talented
up and coming rapper from Gothen City!
This June we are going to be recording a street video with
the first single from his mixtape that will be released soon!
The video will show all sides of Gothenburg City, some of
GBG´s best rappers will be appearing as well.

If you whant to be on the video or contribute with something,
I will soon tell you what kind of people we need or what things!

Secong of all!
Gatutalang and I will be starting a new Vlog together where
we show you the regular day of several of Gothenburgs rappers.
Two or three times a week we are going to head out to the
streets and meet up with well known artists and film it.

And this is just the tip of the Iceberg!
We have a lot more to reveal but we will let you know when it is
time for those proyects.

So I recommend you to check out Gatutalangs Blog here below:
Gatutalang - El Talento

This is one of the biggest attempts in Swedish history to try and
unite the divided Culture that this country sadly enough has.
So I suggest that you guys go and donate to the Du Vet Inte
Nordea bank account by klicking here below:

It doesn´t matter, if many people donate a little that will be a big amount!

The Gatutalang interview will be up TODAY!
So Keep updated, the other parts of the day will be up later!
There you will see Gatutalangs crib, meet some of the Killa Clowns
and see when Gatutalang get´s a tattoo!

Don´t miss it!

What many people forget in HipHop Blogs is that HipHop
is a culture and not just a music genre.
Wich means that there are many different ways of expressing
yourself in the HipHop lifestyle.

HipHop is NOT just rappers!
So that´s why I interview HipHop artists from all aspects within
this culture.
That means rappers, dancers, DJ´s, graffiti artists etc.

Now for the 6:th of june I am going to interview one of my
favorite DJ´s and its no one else than DJ 2MUCH!
And not just that.
If we are lucky I might even make an interview with one of
Swedish HipHop´s Godfather´s.
The rapper known as Ken Ring!

So there you have another reason to keep reading my blog.
Climbing every day!

The video footage and the interview will be up soon...
I actually have so much material that I will make a mini series
of this.

This summer is going to be one of my busiest!
I´m going to reveal my plans to you guys.

First of all I have a couple of interviews planned with
Allyawan, Gatutalang, Sick Art (With Another Known Rapper),
Kaanquest, DJ Levis and others.

Then as a very few of you know, I also work as a DJ and
a very good friend of mine called ENC.
Has chosen me to be his official DJ and I will be traveling
with him through some parts of Europe on his tour.

And we will also be performing here in Sweden as
warm up for the group Crossfire.

This summer I will also start a proyect that I´ve bin
planning for 5 years.
I will make a documentary on the art of graffiti.
And how the main media tries to trash talk it by categorizing
it together with regular wall drawings.
This will be filmed during my travel through Europe and
I will be interviewing known people from the HipHop
community in theyr countries.
On what theyr opinion of this is.

Also before I start my journey in July I will arrange one big
event that for now will remain secret.
But let me tell you this ... It will be FREE and it will be out doors

Here are some of the pictures that I took yesterday!
More will be up as soon as I´m done editing the Video.

And also I finally set the date for my interview with Gatutalang.
I will be interviewing him on a one on one session
on tuesday!

Whant to know who else was on spot yesterday?
It´s no one else than Allyawan whom I managed to agree
on a interview as soon as possible.
Because he has some stuff that he whants you to know about.

I also saw one of my favorite DJ´s - DJ Levis.
Whom might also agree on a interview, we´ll know soon.

And until I edit together all the video footage from yesterday,
here you have some street spittin´ with Stor and Allyawan.

Look at this interview that the boys over at Mariaplan did
with my boy Gatutalang!
Now if you ask me as a journalist I do not like this interview.
Because it isn´t really a interview, they are just asking random
questions and not going into detail in Gatutalang as an artist that much.
But still for the regular viewer it might do ok.

Anyways I´ve bin planning on making a new interview with Gatutalang
and both his boys Bob Village and Nato.
But this time go more into detail in who they are both as people and artists.
And not record it through bambuser but with my HD cam and record the
sound with my H2 Recording Microphone in a more relaxed enviroment.

Some old pics from the P3 Guld Gala + After Party

OK!
So today I´m going to 1200 kvadrat in Frölunda to
see Medina and Stor performing Live.
As you might know I´ve already interviewed Stor
and met Medina @ the P3 Guld Gala.

So if you are in the neighborhood go to 1200 kvadrat
a.k.a fågelhuset in Frölunda, it just costs 80 SEK.

OK, so what I´ve noticed is that there are a lot of free programs
to download for PC´s but people that have MAC´s have a little
more difficult to find programs for theyr cumputers.
Since I use a Mac I had to look hard before I found programs that
could work well for me, so here I´m giving you some tips.



Music/Video Downloads:

This program actually works for both Mac´s and PC´s.
What you can do with this program is download both Video´s
and even extract the audio by applying a URL link from YouTube.
You can even use it to convert videos/audios to other formats
and change the size of the image.

To download this program just klick on the logo above!



Live Cam Streaming FX:

If you stream videos live with for example Bambuser or Stickam,
this is a great option to add effects and texts to the video.
One bad thing is that if you have an older version than
Mac OS X 10.4 the latest version of CamTwist wont work on
your computer.
All you have to do is search for a little older version of the program
and it will work perfectly with your Mac.

This program is 100% free and only works with Mac computers.

Today I was supposed to release the Sick Art interview but there
was just too many things to do this weekend.
But I did have time to get some new stuff!


This is the new Tripod I bought, so happy.

I hate spending money on clothes but these where defnitely worth it.
And they where cheap, the blue one cost 99kr and the black cost 39kr
@ NewYorker in Frölunda, Gothenburg City!
I recomend that store for all who whant to buy good looking clothes for cheap.


Anyways I have to edit the interview now so I hope you all have a great Mothers Day!

Today I bought a new tripod because im tired of my videos looking
bad because of my unsteady hands.
Although my camera isn´t as big or expensive as the one in the picture.

This summer I am starting a new proyect and I am looking for people
that whant to volunteer as camera men/women.

There is no money involved in this, just the will to enhance the truth
about HipHop culture in Gothenburg.
If you are interested and whant to be a part of this, you can e-mail
me for more info at: [email protected]

Since we will be going sometimes to clubs and may be out working
at any hour of the day you have to be 18 years or more and live in
the Gothenburg area.

Im meeting up with artimez in a couple of hours to interview him.
My mind is blanc as usual and I can´t think of any questions to make,
but I usualy come up with stuff right on the spot.
If you whant to make your questions to him you can do so by e-mailing
me at: [email protected]

I forgot to add one artist to the list of interviews that I have
made through the past years.
It is one of my idols untill this day and it is no one else than
Advance Patrols very own DJ Lucutz.

I´ve had a good contact with him since I interviewed him and even
talked about bringing him to Gothenburg for some events.
But there has always bin something in my way.

Artimez who I am going to interview tomorrow asked me last Sunday
who my favorite DJ´s where since I told him that I am also a DJ.
The only name that popped up in my head was DJ Skee,
but now thinking about it DJ Skee is only the newest one in the line.
My role models as a DJ are mostely Lucutz and another DJ from
England called DJ Angelo.



For you who whant to learn basic scratching and maby become DJ´s,
Angelo has some great tutorials that explain everything you need to
know in detail. He tells you everything from what the different scratches
are called to practical tips like how to arrange your record needles.

You can watch his videos by klicking the link below:
DJ Angelo´s YouTube Page

So I was checking out the DuVetInte blog to see whats new
in the Stockholm area when I notices that Melika has put
my link in the "Good HipHop" square.



Considering that there are names like Ametist Azordegan in it.
I consider it like a big compliment coming from one of Swedish
HipHop´s biggest blogers right now.

She wrote to me yesterday in Facebook and told me that she noticed
the intro that I used in the Parham interview teaser.
I told her that it was inspired from her own intro.
Melika is a big inspiration to me and I consider her a good friend,
maby even as my mentor in some ways.

And I will never try to compete against her!

I thought that you guys might be interested in what artists I have interviewed.
So here I´m giving you a short list.


DJ Blass: One of the pioneers of Reggaeton and Spanish HipHop.
I´ve interviewed him on both of his visits to Sweden.
(Spanish)

STOR: One of Swedish HipHop´s biggest names right now.
I interviewed him both before and after he won Best HipHop/Soul on "P3 Guld".

Pato Pooh: Grammy Nominated for Best Swedish Music Video.
I interviewed him together with STOR on the "P3 Guld" gala.

J-Son: Another Grammy Nominated Artist.
He too was interviewed by me on the "P3 Guld" gala.

Parham: Swedish rapper from Gothenburg City.
The interview with him will be up soon, he is also one of my favorite artists right now.

Here is a smal teaser from the interview I made with Parham
last Sunday. The full version will be out soon, I just have to
remaster the sound and put on translations.

I have just uploaded it so it might take a while before the quality gets better.

Many greetings have bin sent, many thoughts have bin floating.
The thing with me and hospitals is that I just can´t take it.
It´s heartbreaking for me to see a person that was standing strong
and proud the last time I saw him/her, lying on a hospital bed.
I didn´t visit my mother when she had cancer, I didn´t visit my father
when he had kidney stones.
I didn´t visit my brother when he was in the hospital.
And I proberbly wont take any visits the day I will lay there.

Melika I´m really happy for your recovery!
And I know that there is still some hard work to go through.
I hope you didn´t take my silence as a sign of unimportance,
but if you see things from my side it is a sign of respect for you.

I can´t accept in my mind you being ill, that Melika doesn´t exist
in my eyes.
The only Melika I´ve known is the Proud and down to earth kind.

Hope to see you soon on your feet.
