Still Pee & Ru - Still Pee & Ru

Rusiak, Pee Wee & DJ Viet-Naam. For anyone who listened to hip hop in Sweden during the late 90's, these are classic names. As a part of Sherlock, the first two are responsible for Made to Measure, one of the best hip hop in this country. After the break up, Rusiak went solo and won 3 Grammys back in 2000 for his debut Magic Villa. After a less successful follow up, it's been kind of silent from these guys. Now they have returned though, and in real good form.  More mature, but still classic hip hop that holds a high standard. For us who has followed these guys through out the years, it's nice both to hear the references to Sherlock and Magic Villa, but also to hear people like Chapee N Chess and Speedknock guest on some tracks. 16 years after their first release, Rusiak and Pee Wee still are amongst the finest Sweden have to offer.
