[LAU] New Swedish hiphop album made completely in Linux!

[Set Hallstrom]

Hi all!

I just have to lay a good word about the Raptimus Prime lyrics, because
i happen to comprehend swedish.

This is not your average "wesh-yo-represent" rap! I mean this is REALLY
INTERESTING! Well reflected and controversial subjects, such as sexism,
immigrant integration, exclusion, the condition of our democracies,
contrasting of the fundamental values such as time, energy vs. money.
It's about the power of creativity, and how doubting this power gives
power to your doubts. It is questioning things in very intelligent and
poetic way. And the style-figures are very personal and freed from
dogmas. Also some of the lyrical flow phases have a notably impressive
velocity!

Now, obviously, appreciating lyrics or rap style is a subjective matter.
However, be assured i'm not some phreshly list-registered undercover
cousin, pepping the shit out of this record.

I'm a phreshly harvested FAN, pepping the shit out of this record! :)
