Promoe (Mårten Edh) is a Swedish emcee, and member of Swedish hip-hop group, Looptroop Rockers.
Promoe has realesed three albums and quite a few 12”s. Promoe’s albums to date are: Goverment Music, Long Distance Runner, and White Man’s Burden. The label is Looptroops own, David versus Goliath (DvsG), which is distributed through Burning Heart. Soundism has given their sound treatment to most of Promoe’s recent releases.

Promoe got regonition from the first of the albums but increasingly so with the second album, which made the charts properly, in Sweden and worldwide.

The lyrics have always been polictical, though slightly shifting in nature.

Government Music, with its cover art borrowing from the the legacy of Aleksandr Rodchenko, and a song bearing ode to the orwellian George Lucas motion picture THX 1138.

Long Distance Runner, where Promoe started to get heavily into a more ethical perspective with him clad in a big white dress on the album cover and moving the focus a bit to also include subjects such as abstinance from drugs and alcohol.

White Man’s Burden, borrowing it’s title from Kiplings poem with the same name deals in great detail with contradictory nature of being a white rapping/toasting rasta like artist recording in Jamaica and at the same time being consious of subjects such as feminism and racism.

Promoe shouldn't be connected with grup "Commies",cus he is an anarchist, communism doesn't/didn't include this kind of thinking. Also he said, in one of his dongs, this living is like living i George Orwell's naville, so how we know Orwell's book was/is against communism. In this same Promoe isn't commie, so pls remove this gruop from connections. Cheers.
