Behind the alias Track 72 hides turntable wizard Tue Track, which in turn is the alias of Anders Brixen Kristiansen, member of legendary Danish hip hop group Malk de Koijn. Tue is as household a name in the frankly flourishing hip hop scene of Denmark you'll find.
His first solo album, Rockin' was a daunting but extremely gratifying mumbo-jumbo of electro and hip hop. That was released in 2005 and we've had to wait three years for a follow-up.
We're not getting another album (yet?), but an EP bearing the name It Crawled Outta My Hands, Honest! From this forecoming EP, two tracks have been made available for the listening pleasure of anyone on his myspace page.
On the only non-instrumental track, Get Up, Tue has allied himself with ADL from across the Øresund Strait and Queensbridge emcee Craig G, who was one of the members of the hip hop pioneering collective Juice Crew, which has resulted in a very boss tune.
Fool Ya is an instrumental apart from a single vocal sample that repeats "I'm not trying to fool ya" across a delicate yet quite emphatic beat from the hands of Tue.
A third track, Nightmare in Copenhagen can be found over at DR (the Danish national broadcasting service). Click the links on the left to stream the tracks individually.
Personally, I can't wait for this EP to drop, and when it does, be sure to pick it up. It's sure to be unfuckwithable. For now, all that's on display are these tracks. Be warned that they are far from brilliant quality, but very listenable nonetheless.
