I'm calling this out early, even though the track is unfinished, and there's still 8 months before 2010, I honestly believe that when these two artists begin to establish themselves as two of the world's most popular rap acts, people will look back at this collaboration in the same light as the legendary 1997 Masta Ace & Eminem collaboration for Hellbound.
I got a chance to listen to this record about 3 months, ago over the phone; I still have no idea when the full remix will be done and released, but I know for a fact that it’s going to feature some pretty big names (you'll have to wait and see). This verse was recently placed on the new "Please, Hold" mixtape which is a gathering of some very very old XV songs such as Cooler Than Ya Boyfriend, along with some very new XV songs and remixes including this one right here. It's sort of a mixed bag for me since I already had 60% of those songs on my computer, but it's great for people that missed all the unreleased XV songs through the years and feel a need to catch up.

So pick that mixtape up, and enjoy the very short, yet memorable, verse from XV on this epic Swedish instrumental with one of the world's best rappers, Henok Achido.

Watch Eboi's Version of Kano's "Hustler" on Tripletimexl.com!

What more can be said, Listen to the song! I've heard , Kano, Ghetto, Lazee, Adam Tensta, and now Eboi on this epic Hustler track. Lyrically, I still have to give it to Adam Tensta, but DELIVERY, I have to say that Eboi took it! He made 100% of every second of that Mikey J instrumental into his own work of art. I can't even believe I'm saying this but it is now very difficult to listen to the Kano version after hearing this song, and the original Kano tune use to be one of my favorite records. Speaking of great songs, the Tensta/Eboi duo have been picking some great instrumentals to rap over as of late, for example, Electric Feel (Justice Remix), Waters of Nazareth, Thunderstuck was amazing and now this!!!

What's next!? Seriously?

Americans may not understand. The urban music industry is just a giant bandwagon, where everyone's music preferences are dictated by the gatekeepers in the mainstream media, such as bloggers, radio-jocks, and magazine writers. (Apparently no one likes to discover music anymore.) Let's take Henok, for example, (being the first DJ in America to spin this guy on radio, I think should know a little something) if Henok wasn't featured on Youheardthatnew.com, then the music tastemakers in America would be still sleeping on his music. I felt like there was a mad dash of writers (bloggers) trying to find out who this guys was, after he got featured (even though there's been people (not including myself) in the USA promoting and distributing his music and writing about him since 06 and earlier).
The bandwagon bloggers bother me because all these writers that are now writing about Henok, have had his music in their inbox for over a year! Why wait until the biggest blog in the world writes about it, check your bloody email!

Now for the music. It's not hipster, mainstream, underground, pop, grime, trendy or gangster. It's not for people that consider themselves urban. It's for people that want a change but don't want to hear another Barack Obama tribute record.

Henok's new album defies all the rules of modern hip-hop, and redefines what it means to be creative in rap music.
The production choice is extremely left field, although the producers on the album, Astma & Rocwell, Filthy, Sakis, are some of the best in the world. If you're familiar with the type of music they produce, you may start scratching your head when you start to hear this record. The beat choice is unpredictable, the lyrics and song topics can often seem random at times, yet you'll finish this album looking for more.

After releasing an underground mixtape and three mainstream singles, no one could predict an album like this. It may not win a grammis from the sometimes snooty academy but it'll definitely cause a dedicated world-wide cult following.

Watch Henok's "Fly Fresh" on Tripletimexl.com!

So many rappers are reliant on fads while others are reliant on skill. Henok Achido is one of those rappers that are reliant on skill. You can play his music 5 years from now, you could have played his music 5 years ago; his style is timeless and classic. So many rappers are all about their shoes, clothes, and coolness. Henok is simply about being a good rapper period, nothing more nothing less. His delivery is so powerful that he doesn’t even need metaphors in his music. Right now we live in an era where rappers are defined by the amount of metaphors they can sneak into a song. Tupac, B.I.G., Nas rarely used metaphors… yet they're still considered the greatest rappers of all time, why? The answer to that question is the reason why Henok will be considered as one of the hip-hop greats when it's all said and done. Fly Fly Fresh Forever!

Watch Adam Tensta's "DopeBoy" on Tripletimexl.com!

This is by far one of the best videos of 2008. I love the message. Director, Marcus Lundin creates his own electro-house drug party with attendees wearing the usual 2008 hipster attire of skinny jeans, all-over-print-hoodies, zip-all-the-way-up-hoodies, neon lipstick, neck bandanas, large letter tee shirts, gold spandex ect… Everyone's holding a bottle of beer in their hand, yet no one's drinking and no one's doing drugs; hence the overall theme of the video "Do I look like I sell drugs?" (which was excerpted from Adam Tensta's debut single "They Wanna Know" where Adam speaks about how people treat him as if he's a drug dealer even though he's a strong advocate against drug use and a member of the non-profit group, "A Non Smoking Generation")

Adam Tensta recently posted a new blog on myspace directed to, the #1 selling rapper, Lil Wayne that states:“I ain't the type to be hating on other artists, but I've gotta say: What the fuck is Weezy doing? I've been irritated about his arrogance for a while, and after seeing YouTube clips of him acting like he is living in a fantasy world where he can do what ever the fuck he wants, I've had enough. How can people be surprised that he got bottles thrown at him in London?
Wayne… all the dope tracks aside, you need to step your people game up. I don't even think that it needs to be said and I know you probably think that nothing can fuck your promotion game up, but mentioning "fuck the" and "mixtape DJs" in the same sentence is not a good move. Then again, maybe it is a good move if you want the same people you talked about to leak your shit before its supposed to leak. I talked to a couple of DJs about this and they said that they already got the leak last week. I think they will be happy to spread that shit over here in Scandinavia. Since you said "buy it or don't buy it, suck my dick" I guess that's ok.

I'm just saying man, it's so damn obvious. I need to work on some new mixtape shit and Lil Wayne needs to work on those people skills I mentioned earlier.
Nuff said.
Peace
Adam”
