CunninLynguists Hearing Colours Euro Tour Part One

We’re stoked to announce that CunninLynguists are returning to Europe this fall for the Hearing Colours Euro Tour Part One f. Trizz & Yamin Semali!

There has never been an anomaly in hip-hop quite like the southern trio CunninLynguists.  Sampling genres from psych-rock to blues, New Romantic to polka, they have been musically compared to UGK and Atmosphere in the same breath. They have toured and shared stages with Kanye West and Aesop Rock to equal success. They have crafted songs with international soul superstar Cee-Lo Green and politically charged indie-favorite Immortal Technique – on the same album.

CunninLynguists newest project, Rose Azura Njano, is set to be released on October 6th 2017 via APOS Music and RBC Records. It is the trio’s first studio album since 2011’s Oneirology & first release since 2014’s Strange Journey Volume Three.

Be sure to catch the genius trio made up of Kno, Deacon and Natti, in a city near you in October!

October 24th – Cologne, Club Bahnhof Ehrenfeld (Tickets)

October 25th – Berlin, Gretchen (Tickets)

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes to Scandinavia!

We’re thrilled to announce that the American punk rockband Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, consisting of punk legends Joey Cape and Dave Raun from Lagwagon, Jay Bentley from Bad Religion, Spike Slawson from Swingin’ Utters and Scott Shiflett from Face to Face will be visiting Scandinavia for shows in Malmoe, Gothenburg and Oslo.

Supergroup and coverband Me First and the Gimme Gimmes formed in 1995 with one single mission – to make all the other punk bands covering popular songs obsolete. Seven studio albums, one live record and countless singles later, they’ve tackled just about every genre under the sun. Be it Motown, Country, show tunes, Japanese Pop (sung in Japanese!), these seasoned punk rock pros have triumphed on every occasion in a way only the Gimmes could. And their primary goal to over shine the other cover bands is since long ago accomplished.

April 7th the MFGG released new collection album Rake It In: The Greatest Hits and there now embarking on a world tour. By the end of June they will have reached us up in the North, with shows in Malmö 27/6, Göteborg 29/6, and Oslo 28/6.

Mick Jenkins back to Scandinavia

Chicago native and Free Nation group member Mick Jenkins is coming back to Scandinavia this fall to play a series of club shows. He’s known for mixtapes, such as Trees & Truths, and the critically acclaimed The Water[s] which in 2014 gave Jenkins national attention and made Timbaland publicly praise his musical talent and intricate lyrics. In 2015 he released the EP Wave[s] which with its theme of the value of truth and love not only left the fans ecstatic also left him with a strong profile in todays independent hiphop scene.

During 2014 Jenkins toured with Method Man, Redman, B-Real and Berner. In 2015 he headlined a alongside Pro Era member Kirk Knight, and sold out more than half of the shows as well as touring with Joey Bada$$ on his Phase 1 World Domination Tour.

Now Mick has shifted his focus to his debut album, THC (The Healing Component). “The healing component is love. Love heals all”. With that inspiring notion we can not wait for this highly anticipated debut album that will arrive later this year.

Tingsek till Malmöfestivalen

Vi kan glatt meddela att Tingsek kommer spela på årets Malmöfestival!

Tingsek är äntligen tillbaka med ny musik! Den 29 april släppte han nya singeln ”The Fiddlers”, en drömsk och suggestiv soullåt, och fick ett överväldigande fint välkomnande tillbaka av fansen. Till hösten släpper han sitt första studioalbum på sju år.

Tingsek, som under de senaste åren främst fokuserat på samarbeten med andra artister, bl.a som medlem i skånska reggaebandet Helt Off,  är även högaktuell som låtskrivare, producent och musiker på kritikerrosade amerikanska artisten Allen Stones nya album Radius. Förra månaden gästade han Stone, som är ute på Europaturné, på scen i både Stockholm och Köpenhamn.

På den kommande plattan får vi höra en ny och uppdaterad version av Tingsek där hans starka musikaliska drivkraft och noggrannhet skapat en utkristalliserad unik ljudbild och ett helt självklart sound, byggt på minnen av toner från barndomen. Med inspirationskällor som Brian Wilson, D’Angelo och Mozart, har Tingsek återskapat sig själv som artist och hittat ett sound helt olikt allt annat där ute. ”Soulen står i förgrunden – med en touch av svensk skog”, som han beskriver den kommande plattan.

I sommar ser ni denna karismatiska liveartist på Stora Scenen Malmöfestivalen, 12-19 augusti!

Bishop Nehru on Nordic tour in September

Bishop Nehru just released his new project Magic 19, an 11-track mixtape with no features and mostly produced by himself. In September he will be visiting the north with club shows in Oslo, Trondheim, Stockholm and Helsinki. 

Markel Scott, more known as Bishop Nehru, is an American rapper and producer from Nanuet, New York. 2013 marked the start of his career as an hiphop artist, with the release of the impressive mixtape Nehruvia, which included collaborations with some of the greatest producers in the hiphop scene, like Madlib and DJ Premier.

Bishop, “The rap wunderkid”, continues to prove that despite his young years, (he’s only 19 years old), he is a voice to count on in the modern hiphop scene – having released the critically acclaimed mixtape NehruvianDoom with rap heavyweight MF DOOM (2014) and gone on tour with the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Earl Sweatshirt and Nas. He has been called the crown prince of the New York hiphop scene and heralded as the next generation of pure hiphop-talent by Kendrick Lamar. Like that wasn’t enough, he has already collaborated with artists like Disclosure, Little Dragon and Flight Facilities. Later this year he will release his debut studio album on Mass Appeal Records, which is to be produced by the great Nas himself. We can’t wait for this!

In September Bishop Nehru will swing by the nordic countries for shows in Oslo, Trondheim, Stockholm and Helsinki. Tickets on sale now on www.badtasteevents.com!
