swedish hip hop duo prime ape got the blues released their debut album in may, 2008. the album, called "it's not easy being a digital being" was a grimey and larger than life kind of album that with it's impressive 1 hour and 11 minutes stretched all the way from hiphop to idm to rock all with a kind of "punkish" curiosity to it.

"..This is hip-hop. Not the rap-pop garbage that's dominating the so-called hip-hop scene.. ..the most powerful lyrics are delivered in the most interesting ways.. ..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 - Highbeamreview.com (read the full review here) "..lean back and enjoy some cunning and inventive hip hop.. ..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." Score - 4/5 - Joyzine.se (full: english - swedish) "..feels like i have drill in my brain and like i'm close to an epilectic seisure.." score - 3/5 - Mathilda Dahlgren, groove (full review: swedish)
