...of course there are exceptions... of course in america we are truly blessed with the most original and widely most talented... but along come loop troop. from the moment i heard their cut "4 Elements" on a compilation called "Return of the B-Boy" I knew that these cats would be getting some airplay on my hip hop radio show. WPRK 91.5 fm Rollins College. This crew is amazing. The rhymes are original and tight, the delivery is amazing. They go off in english 99% of the time on this release. it's amazing-they flow better in english, their second language, than most us mcs do in their own language. This is one truly dope LP. Look for the ep's from these guys, BUY the vinyl or CD, and cop some live cuts in mp3 format floating around out there. DON'T SLEEP ON THIS CREW! -DJ Levi

Up until a few days ago I had only heard of Looptroop but had never got the chance to actually hear any of their stuff. Then I heard Modern Day City Symphony and I was absolutely amazed.

These Swedish MC's are rapping here in their second language and put 90% of the mainly English speaking rappers to shame. Awesome lyrics, flows and voices. This album is completely 100% DOPE!

A lot of the subject matter is concerned with graffiti, so if you are into quality Hip Hop and Aerosol Art (even if you aren't) you MUST buy this album!

Allright, for you who don't know, Looptroop (Promoe, Supreme, CosM.I.C. & DJ Embee) are together a swedish hiphop band, that's been doing rap for 10 years or so. Modern day city symphony is their first long play album, and i think it's even better than the new 'The Struggle Continues' album, but that is ofcourse only my opinion =) All the songs are really dope on this album, and the beats are really well done and kicking!
I can only recommend this album to all hiphop fans!

At www.looptroop.nu you can find some info about the band.

this is better than hip hop your going to get in the us, and it isnt even their first language, clearly puts most American MC's to SHAME. I also believe this is their best cd, but thats my opinion. You can listen from the first song to the last song, they are all fire. dope beats + dope lyrics = dope lp.

Well, what can I say? LoopTroop's the finest of the Swedish underground hip hop scene. Already a classic piece of Swedish hip hop history, this CD surely makes you wanna see them live. With rhymes that speak of freemindedness and revolution from the system, combined with dark and heavy beats, LoopTroop can't be dismissed. The group has performed on clubs and jams all over Sweden, and built up a reputation outside the country as well. On this CD Freestyle from the Arsonists and Sweden's Timbuktu, among others, are featured on some of the tracks. If you're only to buy one Swedish hip hop album, this is the one, as long as you're not into the Swedish language. If so, you've got plenty of lyricists and great battler's still to explore...

the absolutely best swedish underground hiphop! Loop troop is the biggest underground hiphopgroup in sweden and the loop troop is Promoe with a great hiphop voice with great rhymes, Cosm .i.c great rhymes and supreme, an great Mc. The loop troop takes up subjects as the police, graffitti and racking. When i heard this album i thought: "Godamn, Sweden has the greatest hiphoppaz in tha hole world"! and if you listen to this album i know that you are going to think the same thing!

The first time i saw and heard looptroop was on a concert here in my country Sweden,and i was amazed,this is one of my favorite f***in cd's and i recommend that u buy this sh*t.One of the best hip hop groups i know i think.BUY IT!!!!
