Idag släpper Tomas Andersson Wij sin nya låt, “Vi får dö en annan dag”. Såhär skriver han om den:
“Det har varit ett mörkt år på många sätt. Fantastiska personer har dött för tidigt: Bowie, Bodil Malmsten, Prince, Olle Ljungström. På ett politiskt plan: Terrorn, klimatlarmen, flyktingströmmarna, radhusrasismen, det anonyma hatet på nätet. Europe is lost, som Kate Tempest rappar, America is lost. Sverige känns rätt lost också.
Och samtidigt går jag runt här i Stockholm på de ljusa trottoarerna och ser hur sommaren är på väg tillbaka, hur naturen återuppstår, hur allting får en ny chans. Människor fortsätter att bli kära i varandra. Vi fortsätter att samlas i städernas barer. Och vi fortsätter att göra osjälviska saker ibland. Däri finns mitt hopp, min gospel.
Hoppas ni gillar låten. Om ni gör det, dela den gärna!”
Vackert! In och lyssna: http://spoti.fi/23ZqZtE

Flatbush Zombies have after a series of critically acclaimed mixtapes and music videos finally released their debut album; 3001: A Laced Odyssey, in March this year on their own record label. In October the trio will head out on the 3001 Space Odyssey Tour and will visit Scandinavia with shows in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
Flatbush Zombies, from Flatbush, Brooklyn, consists of rappers Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice and Erick “Arc” Elliott, their regular producer.

Flatbush Zombies is one of the most exciting acts on the independent hiphop scene today and they’re well known for their, mildly put, energetic live shows. Joining Flatbush on tour as support is rapper A$AP Twelvyy from the ASAP-mob. It’s with great pleasure we welcome them back to Scandinavia for three exciting club shows in October!
