Prime Ape Got the Blues is a hip hop duo from Gothenburg, Sweden consisting of vocalist Shuriken and producer Nois etc. The duo released their debut album "It's Not Easy Being A Digital Being" in May, 2008. The album spoke of the hardships of being a young being in an ever more so digitalized world and in the end the production of the hour plus long work of auditory machinery took almost three years to complete from the first beat to the actual printing. The follow up to "It's Not Easy Being A Digital Being" has been in the works for a while and is thought to see the light of day sometime in 2009. Selected reviews of PAGTB's debut album "It's Not Easy Being A Digital Being": " ..This is hip-hop. Not the rap-pop garbage that's dominating the so-called hip-hop scene.. ..Shuriken's rapping is fast, and his delivery really adds emphasis where it needs it; the most powerful lyrics are delivered in the most interesting ways.. ..I really hope this helps hip-hop make a real comeback. In an age where the only real hip-hop artists tend to get ignored in favor of gimmick-riding rappers, Prime Ape Got The Blues is a welcome relief." Score - 8/10 - Andrew Klatzke, Highbeamreview.com " ..all you have to do is lean back and enjoy some cunning and inventive hip hop. When the nuances have settled, this is an album that has many levels and that constantly challenges your listening. It’s hip hop at it’s least blithest and it’s most entertaining.. ..Prime Ape Got the Blues wave’s good bye to the stiff beat and makes hip hop where all whims are welcome and where an organic soundscape is prioritized.. .. Truly impressive!" Score - 4/5 - Mikael Mjornberg, Joyzine.se
