frida scar - stick då (with skrokk)

syster sol's "bland dom" was a track that served as a possecut and an anthem for the femtastic camp and in the middle of the song you hear frida scar. this was my introduction to the rapper and i became interested as i heard scar opening the verse with a swedish version of the chorus from destiny's child's "say my name". from this day on i've been wanting to ask frida to do a full on cover but i've been a bit to afraid to ask.

never the less there was a whole load of attitude and good lyrics in the bars but sadly the flow wasn't the best. this didn't scare me like most people on youtube that claim that verse kills the track, in which i'd like to say: fuck off. i was still then interested of hearing more music from frida scar and noticed two tracks on scar's soundcloud account a while ago. "schhh" and "mot toppen" ("to the top") was fire and i think this was the start of an ep that i heard about being in the making.

it was released a few days ago and those two songs were included along with four other tracks and it's a good ep that gives a good idea of what's there to come. second track from the release "stick då" ("leave then") is what floored me as i love hard grimey beats. coupled together with a fiery attitude you have some thing that is almost on point to amplify dot or no.lay.

the sign of a good aggressive track is when the intro doesn't tell what is about to happen. as it drops scar goes off hard about how you are lesser than the person one the mic, typical grime topic or rap topic in general. i'm not a complete fan of the chorus but the verses are, to use a proper cliché, just fire. the other problem i have is the guestverse by skrokk whose flow is a bit stumbling but there is some nice lyrical elements that makes up for it.

great stuff in general.
