From Iceland — Forgotten Lores - Frá heimsenda

Published February 9, 2007

15 tracks of Icelandic rap. Forgotten Lores arrive with a much anticipated follow up to their debut, Týndi hlekkurinn. Their live shows are always fun. At the recent Airwaves festival their performance was one of the highlights. Rap is about words and Forgotten Lores include Iceland’s best rappers. Their flow and rhymes are really, really good. The beats and music fall into the same category. It is so rewarding to hear the innovative ways these guys use language. Icelandic hip-hop is not heard very often, so I had high hopes for this album, wanting to hear a solid and good rap record. I was not disappointed. It is full of ideas, fun and excellence. Makes me want to rap. Music that does that to you is great.
