Dreamon - Rise (video)
I think this has got to be the 3rd or 4th kaleidoscope/mirror-image video I've seen this week, had no idea it was a thing all a sudden. Anyhow, Norwegian hip-hop still has a ways to go to my hears, but the production here is decent.

Edda Magnason - Jona (video + more)
"Jona" is the new Familjen-produced single from Edda Magnason. To round out the release, label asked fellow Malmö resident Vidderna to do a remix and the result can be seen/heard at PSL right now. Then they had Niva remix the remix without having ever heard the original. And then Justus Köhncke contributed by remixing the remix of the remix. There's also some sort of demo version/remix/mashup from Simian Ghost too, but it all starts to get quite confusing. Anyhow, expect them all to be online shortly?
