In the battle of the white rappers, my new favorite is a swedish dred-locked dude named promoe. He's part of some larger group that starts with an l... too lazy to google it, but they're pretty good. Even though his sound is a little bouncy -- in that way that's so fun when you're in a good mood but seems a little cloying when you're normal -- I like it. "These Walls Don't Lie" is cool. And it's in English, so mo betta. Least I think it is.

Swedish actually sounds like some crazy bootleg mix of Spanglish and slang. Like you can almost make out what they're saying, but through some scramble of the nerve endings, can't decipher a damn word.
