180g, black Vinyl inkl. Downloadcard. You don't have to be from Finland to have a world view coloured by depression, but it does help. Dubbing VIEW's music as Dark Hop or Hip Noir does not even scratch the surface when trying to describe the way he handles Hip Hop. The 23 year old rapper from Norway doesn't shy away from the sun like a vampire, but he would rather leave basking in it up to his collaborators. VIEW observes and analyses his surroundings, reacting like a seismograph to things that shake him up and touch him. He released his noteworthy debut EP last year with help from his producer Joonas Laaksoharju, who is no stranger in the Scandinavian music scene, one in a whole line-up of up-and-coming producers. It is difficult to resist the magnetic pull of VIEW. His charismatic voice, at once mystical and hypnotic, has found many followers in Finland over the past two years. Since the release of his first single "Avalon", his dark flow has found its way into the Finnish unconscious. He has become the most promising new artist on the rap scene and the people love his down-to-earth attitude. Eponymous to the single, the EP "Avalon" will be out on Cargo Records Germany in January 2017. After a handful of performances in Germany (for example at the Reeperbahnfestival, Great Escape or Spot) he is set to shake up Europe with his own, dark brand of Hip Hop.
