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

[Gabbe Nord]

Just wanted to add that we just put up our first music video as well, if
anyone's interested!

It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJD1JWOTu4E

Unfortunately, it's not produced with FLOSS, but the music ofc still is!

Cheers!
