newkid - luftens hjältar (med lorentz & ison)

the first time i heard about "luftens hjältar" ("the heroes of the airwaves") was about six months ago when i heard an acoustic version of the song. alexander ferrer (aka newkid) was invited by swedish music blog psl to perform a set for one of their newly started ordeals. it's called the sinding sessions and basically it's sort of an unplugged session but with no real audience. with newkids music being based in r&b and hiphop and the hyper-electronic kind, you strip it all down to the core and get close to the music.

what attracted me to this was the fact that ison glasgow delivers a verse and i've stated this before but i am a fan of his. if anyone asks why haven't you heard this one before, especially since newkid's debut album being released in '11. then i have to answer than besides "turbulens" i wasn't a fan of newkid's music and the titles itself doesn't list guests in usual manners.

it is actually a posse cut of sorts (even though it's only three persons) where the topic at hand is to brag about how good they are. the title is alluding to that but it's also the swedish name to the animated 90's disney show "talespin". it's a bombastic production by måns "monzi" persson that contains of shuffled 32th notes hihats and supersaw stabs that sound like the bastard child of just blaze and lil jon.

there are little to say than ison's verse is killer and it's filled with his kind of punchlines and it's delivered flawlessly.
