Swedish hip hop
Swedish hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop.
Swedish hip hop has its roots in Stockholm and Malmö in the middle 1980s. Swedish rap crews and artists usually rap in Swedish, English, or a mix of both.

The break-through for swedish hip-hop was 1998-1999 with Petter and later on Ken, Blues. Who all rapped in swedish. But the first big hip-hop act in Sweden was Just D. The Latin Kings was also one of the early big acts on the scene. Early Undergound acts was Broadcaster D with One Eye Red (now known as Ayo), ADL and even Feven. Later on both ADL and Feven got a commersial break-through. But the ones who put Sweden on the commersial hip-hop map must been The Latin Kings and Petter in the mid 90s and late 90s.
