We live in a time where a beat, the melody, and the vocals no longer need to be laid down in a recording studio in order to have the same professional sound and effect. Now, more than ever, it is easier for anyone to have access to the industry. However, this is also what makes it harder Ifor people to make it big, especially when you’re a junior computer sci- ence major studying at UNH. But Swedish-American and Merrimack native, Karl Hamnqvist, also known by his stage name as ‘K Swisha’, has beaten those odds. Not only in the academic setting of UNH, but in the rap game/trap music industry. Hamnqvist is responsible for the widely popular viral track “Uber Everywhere” by Madeintoyko, which has gained attention of some ma- jor rap/hip-hop stars across the nation.

  • Thank You Mr Tokyo Madeintyo Album Download Madeintyo
    thank you mr tokyo madeintyo album download MadeinTYO. MadeinTYO doesn’t have a typical rapper backstory. As the son of a Naval Officer, he moved frequently – traveling from base to base – until his family landed in Tokyo for the duration of his high school years. Inspired by his brother, artist 24hrs, MadeinTYO drew from the foreign culture around him and began to take music seriously. He uploaded his first song to Soundcloud at the age of 22, and a movement was born. MadeinTYO has managed to carve out a spot for himself amongst this new generation of rappers with his mixtapes You Are Forgiven and Thank You, Mr. Tokyo. His debut single “Uber Everywhere” shot up the radio charts, landing in the top 10 and achieving double platinum certification from the RIAA. The internet started to buzz. With over a billion streams, MadeinTYO caught the attention of hip-hop’s biggest tastemakers including Complex, the FADER, Noisey and earning him a spot as a member of XXL’s 2017 Freshmen class. And this was just the beginning. Now living in Los Angeles, MadeinTYO has collaborated with some of hip-hop’s biggest names, including 2 Chainz, Travis Scott and Big Sean. MadeinTYO has been tapped as a muse and collaborator for brands such as Sprite, Adidas, Reebok, Ciroc, Footaction, HUF, Carrots. His single “Skateboard P” peaked at #8 on urban radio and is now RIAA certified platinum. MadeinTYO called on Big Sean for a “Skateboard P” remix. The music video broke the internet, making both MadeinTYO and Big Sean a top trending topic on social media.
