Kanye is gonna love this shit!
He'll be mentioning this on his blog by the end of next week. Watch.
This fella's name is Adam Tensta, and he is one of the freshest and illest rappers on the planet.
And he's from Sweden! Though he raps in English.
Tensta's beats are dope as shiz and he's rhyming about things other than the cliches in American hip hop: hos and cash.
CLICK HERE to enjoy his instantly infectious My Cool.

Europe Rules!
There are a shit load of artists in America that rap about real issues, but of course it wouldn't be cool if the artist didn't come from another country. What about Brother Ali, Mos Def, Sage Francis, Blackalicious, the Roots (they've been around for 20 years by the way), Wise Intelligent, X-Clan, the Coup, Greenhouse Effect, Murs, and Blue Scholars just to name a few. You are a fool to think that hip hop in America is dead and you obviously can not look below the surface to see what is really going on with this genre.
i went to a club gig with adam tensta a month ago and it was ON FIRE! you should also check out this other swedish rapper called lazee. find him on myspace and check out his tune 'rock away'.
FIRST
Hello, i just wanted to say that rap music is so cool. and so is america. everybody else in the world sucks except americans and american hip hop music. i hate those canadians with their countree music. they think they are so cool. but they are really just piss ants who wish they was american.
I think its cheesy rap, definitely feel good… like cheese whiz then you realize the shit ain't that good
Re: jamie – Do you have an acronym for hip hop?
I'm from Sweden ya'll and he's pretty big here !
Hello. I lovve america and american hip hop music. rap music is the onlyl kind of music that ppl listen to. i hate canadians and their countrey music. i hate everywhere except americans.
I really like this!!!
Adams music is the best, come to Sweden and watch him live! btw love your blog have it as my homepage
Adam Tensta is awesome! Go Sweden!
2 bad this song is like 4 months old in swe..we're really getttin sick of hearing it on the radio 24/7
LOVE perez, love love love this site - check it multiple times a day - you KNOW your s*** when it comes to gossip/celebs - but sorry to say - NOT Hip Hop. This dude is wack! Rapping with an american accent when hes from Sweden is NOT hot - come listen to some UK Hip Hop, you dont get anything THAT Phony.
Love ya still tho!
You should put Levar Thomas's music up! He is making real music!!!!!!!!
the hip hop scene is alive and well here. Tensta is the name of a "project" part of stockholm (in america it would be like "inner city" housing), were he grew up and I tought him in junior high, actually. *proud*
Re: one – i like you because you are sexy. can i have your babies. i am a man with an artificial womb. please me like?
hip-hop does get the sluts "ready & willing!!!" 4 realzo
Thanks Perez for posting this. Adam Tensta is RAD … For reals. And yes, if Kayne hasn't heard of him yet, he will now have obviously. BTW, all these people who post "first" are totally retarded. They totally post like they are not a day over 12.
THE HUNDREDS IS HUGE!
you like shit music - over produced hack
Love the song, but I don't understand, is the word "nigga" a mandate in every rap song? If blacks want whites to stop using the version that ends in "er", perhaps you should stop using this version, hhhmmmmm???
LOVE THE SUDDEN SHIFT TO STREET LINGO WHEN TALKING ABOUT RAPPERS PEREZ. WHEN YOU USE WORDS LIKE "FRESHEST" AND "ILLEST" IT ALMOST MAKES US FORGET YOU'RE WHITE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU'RE ATTEMPTING. KEEP IT REAL DAWG, KEEP IT REAL AND TELL RANDY JACKSON WEL ALL SAID HI.
What does FIRST means???
He was raised in a suburb of Sweden called Tensta, he's originally from Africa. He's amazing, love love love HIM! He's blowing up in Sweden. Very creative. I love his video for My Cool. It's fun. Anyway, looks like he's finally getting some recognition here in the US. Good. He's also a big fan of reggae, man after my own heart. LOVE YOU ADAM!
Thanks…gonna have that in my head all damn day now.
Perez, I think you think you're much more important to music than you really are. So, Mika gives you a little credit for blowing him up the US. He is mediocre at best and has no star quality. AND this rapper guy, what do you know about rap? PuhLEEZE! Can't understand a damn thing he's saying and his mixing in that Eurotrash pop totally sounds horrible. Good luck with your record label Perez! And NO, I'm not jealous, I'm a well known record executive.
My Cool is a good song he's good I'm gonna listen to more of his stuff!
Hahaha… where do you find all this shit?!? Im so sick and tired of this song, they play it 24/7 here in Sweden… but its coooooooool.. his name sucks though..Tensta is a "ghetto" area here in Stockholm.
Oooh..what K-fed wouldn't do to be singing this song instead..
Rap is the lowest form of art today. If you wat to point out the world's ills write an essay or book. Rapping just makes you look like a fool and the audience look even more foolish.
what a fucking find perez, seriously this is as good as anything kanye's made. thanks now i've got a new favorite song, hopefully this blows up in the states someday soon.
Wow, I usually dislike most rap because of it's unorignal beats, and generic and often degrading rhymes towards women. Adam Tensta is fantastic though, wow.
Wow! Adam Tensta på Perez! så sjukt coolt!
THIS SHIT IS OOOOOOOOOOLD MAN! perez i thought u were cool and knew about all new shit!! u suck fat pig!!
This shit ain't shyt. It ain't ill nor chill, its swill. Please find a way to take it off.
And thank you for the link to "You Tube" that demonstrates that his songs are all of the same tired beats and rhymes.
it's only a matter of time, until kanye west or anybody from the US is gona want to collaborate with him…kanye west will likely be the first, he's all about authencity and than bragging about it !!!!!!!
Adam is brilliant!!!!!
