Nordic Hiphop

This isn't your typical American boasting about sex, money and cars. Instead many Scandinavian artists (not all, mind you) put a strong emphasis on social issues, religion and normal day to day life.



Outlandish is a Danish trio whose music is inspired by various backgrounds (South American, Arab, Panjabi etc.). Furthermore, although the group mainly sings in English, they also use Spanish, Urdu, Danish and Arabic in their songs. 



Redrama is a Swedish speaking Finn who raps in English about contemporary issues and life in general.



Redrama together with Avain (also known as Asa), a Finnish artist who is famous for his left-wing sympathies and criticism of war, politicians and social and economic inequality.
