Mysterious Swedish Group JJ Made Us a Rap Playlist for Life

Sleeve Notes is a new series where we pick an artist and get them to make a themed mix. This week: Swedish duo JJ.

YNTHT: Hey JJ, on one of your early releases you guys you were flipping records by the likes of Dr Dre. The mix you've made us also includes a lot of new rap artists. What do you think about the direction hip-hop is headed in?

JJ: Success.

You put out V back in August. What sort of things were you aiming for with that album? Is the third record as difficult as everyone claims?

Success.

What has happened during the time we created v has been more difficult than anything in our lives.

Tell us three great things about Sweden that we won't have heard about before.

The air.
