Adam Tensta Goes Worldwide
When you think about Sweden, Hip Hop isn't one of the first things that comes to mind. Adam Tensta aims to change that with the release of two extremely infectious singles that are both getting tons of plays on both MySpace and YouTube. Tensta may be Swedish, but he raps in English making his music accessible to fans in both Europe and the States.Adam arrived on the scene by dropping the groove-laden They Wanna Know, a tune that helps explain what the Swedish MC is all about. From the heavy beat to Tensta's Kanye-esque delivery to the song's flashy video it's no surprise that They Wanna Know is getting spun at clubs worldwide.
My Cool, Tensta's latest single, picks up where They Wanna Know left off, with a killer beat that is equal parts Beck and The Neptunes. You just gotta love the electro-vibe of this incredible track. We also like that Adam focuses his polished raps on the positives in the world.
The artist born into the world as Adam Momodou Eriksson Taal, borrowed his stage name from the name of the Stockholm suburb where he grew up. Look for his new album, It's A Tensta Thing, to hit stores soon. Trust us, it won't be long before this Swedish export makes his mark in this country. Check out more of Adam Tensta's songs over at his MySpace.
