● Zaka & blok 12

● Ham fra Syd
Ham fra Syd is inspired by the hard, controversial drill-sound, made popular by Chief Keef in Chicago and since mutated to UK drill.
● NICOLAJTP
NICOLAJTP just released his album ‘’En Uge’’ – a different, melancholic hiphop universe with a sensitive voice and a truly compelling rap.

Universal’s new hope. Aften working under the radar, the Aarhus rapper is now ready for the Danish stages with his US inspired sound.
● Baby Bino
Baby Bino’s lyrics are based on his and the gang’s daily life and lifestyle. The sound and the (life) style is reflected in the dominant Trap / hiphop wave. According to Baby Bino himself, you should be able to “feel yourself” when listening and singing along on the tracks. The special way of life is an important part of the music and the expression.
