But it doesn’t stop here! Henry will also battle O’Shea and Syco together with Step Easy! That’s at the Ground Zero event at the 7th.
I express my deepest sympathy with those affected by yesterday’s atrocities at Utöya, Norway. I myself have on several occasions performed at similar gatherings of young activists in the labor movement. It is absolutely insane that anyone can execute this kind of politically motivated terror in general and against young people in particular. My thoughts and sympathies are with the victims and their relatives.

So there it is, the new and long awaited 9th release of Henry Bowers is available for all to download for free at www.whoa.nu!
Kafkaotiska Inspelningar presents in cooperation with Whoa the web release of Henry Bowers long awaited new album “The TV OD LP“. The album is being released right now on www.whoa.nu for free download and later on CD, vinyl and video streaming.
Henry Bowers has through his long discography always chosen to go his own way, creating original and profound music. This album mark new ground covered among the many styles he has covered so far. This album is, compared to the previous release, has a much more electronic and upbeat sound. At a time when more and more hip-hop artists are embracing the super commercial and glitzy electronic sound, Henry has opted for a heavier, dirtier and meaner approach that is reflected in songs like “TV Overdose” and the dubstep-influenced “Swing Batter Batter Swing”, which was recently released as a music video.
If Henry Bowers last ablum, “Escape from Juniper Hills” (2009) looked inwards, was poetic and personal, “The TV OD LP” is outward-looking, with plenty of humor and clever punchlines combined with straight political messages. The album is an explosion of references to TV, movies, comics, video games and green-painted baseball warriors.
Life as a full time rapper has invited Henry to much spare time, which he has filled with the subject matter that inspired the album. On the cover, you can see Henry in a post-apocalyptic landscape carrying the only thing he saved from destruction, the beloved television he grew up with.
Henry Bowers has quickly come up to a level where he is considered one of Sweden’s greatest battle rapper, and has been featured in international contexts (eg the Don’t Flop battle against Stowaway). “The TV OD LP” also has international presence, with rapper and beatmaker Noventa from the group Consensus Lo-Fi from France, rapper Mingus X-24th from South Africa and Cleast Intwood from Germany who made the beat to “Eternal Life”.

The official music video for the song Swing Batter Batter Swing is here! This is the first video from the forthcoming album The TV OD LP, which will be released April 24 by Kafkaotiska Inspelningar in collaboration with Whoa.nu, where it will be avaliable for free download. It will also be avaliable on Vinyl, CD and streaming.
This video is a homage to the movie The Warriors from 1979. The video is directed by Hill Fifty who among other things has made the video for “Jacksonian March” by the rapper Follow Him To The End Of The Desert, who in this video has the role of Henry’s nemesis.
The video is shot with a RED One-camera, the same camera used on blockbusters such as The Social Network, the Che-movies, District 9 etc.
The music production is made by Henry’s loyal beat-provider Kryptonite, and the partner in crime DJ Lo-kut cuts up the wax.
