toffer - kebabrulle

one of my earliest entries was about sexfemman's wonderful ode to the art of fika, or coffee-break as it would be known elsewhere maybe, called "punchrulle". i still to this date love that song and when i heard dj grass play a version of it on ametist azordegan's radioshow "en kärleksattack på svensk hiphop" i was intrigued.

found out quickly that it was swedish rapper toffer who went and did the version and i thought it was going to be on a future mixtape or release so i waited. it was played another time on the show and toffer kept tweeting out his variation of the hook from time to time. in toffer's version it became "till min zuttish vill ja kanelbulle, fyra/fem snickers och en kebabrulle" ("to my doobage i want a cinnamon bun, four or five snickers (bars) and a (döner) kebab roll*").

until a few weeks ago when he tweeted out a different variation of the hook with the punchline ending on "veganrulle", which is a wrap of vegetables and mushrooms. a little later there was a link to a soundcloud file from patrick arve/swedish tiger sound (also one third of teddybears sthlm). toffer spit a variation of the song on the dnb version of his wild animal ting riddim, i thought it was amazingly good as it was toffer's surefire flow on some banging amen drums.

i was going to write about that version but when i thought of doing so, the song was taken down and i asked toffer on twitter what was the deal. he responded with that it was a matter of record company business and when i asked when the regular version was to be released, he said "soon". a few days after that petter & dj sleepy's label baba recordings announced that "kebabrulle" was to be a new single. since the original "punchrulle" was produced by marcus price and released on price's slang musik label, the ability to release a version of a song like this is easier without all the legal hassle.

toffer's version of the song if an ode to the munchies that appear with smoking weed and whatnot and toffer does it really well. i enjoy his flow and his take on the song and i am loving this track, maybe not as much as the original but it's close.
