i have a couple of favourite swedish rappers and they are: ison and timbuktu but the best is the hardest member of laxmacka crew, femtastic massive, dirty north & random bastards. she is nathalie missaoui aka cleo and spits fire and has that don't fuck with me attitude of both mc lyte and mc ren combined.
see i don't usually write fanboyish shit like that but she deserves all praise and what made fall in love with her music was latest record "left the city burning" with the awesome "she ain't going" but i heard her records before it and the tracks i love the most are "unusual creates confusion" and this track "don't call yourself a king".
i like it the most in the live-setting as cleo performs with a band but in it's original form it is still really good. the beat is a raw thumper and it's a serious dancefloor cut with cleo & her sister in arms syster sol (who for some reason billed herself as izzy on this).
it's a song that demands respect from the beginning and it states a fact that for whatever reason most men don't understand, "don't call yourself a king when you can not treat a queen". quite frankly cleo and syster sol sound and are royally pissed off for a good reason. i think cleo talks about a former partner but it can be about all guy who don't know shit about equality.
