Oskar Witt
Oskar Witt started his lyrical career on the poetry slam stage, where as a young debutant he won slams and delved into the words. When he then shifted to a more rap-focused style, he brought the advanced rhymes and powerful delivery from poetry slam. As a poetry slammer, he also developed a great confidence on stage, which gives him the ability to control an audience. Oskar Witt's inspirations spread across many genres. Poets such as C.V. Jørgensen, Michael Strunge and the great American rappers have helped to leave their mark on his personal style.

Oskar Witt's lyrical universe is often based on darker themes such as identity crisis, unrequited love, fear, etc. He combines the lyrics with experimental beats, which create a unique soundscape. Oskar Witt always immerses himself in his lyrics and therefore delivers them with lots of energy and feeling.

Slalum
The musician-rapper Slalum started as a rapper in the crew HVADCRU. She has moved between the old school 90s inspired MPC sound to the newer school trashy, electronic and industrial beats. Now she's taking the lessons to her very own classroom, where you can expect to be both called out and put in your place, through flabby lyrics and refined rhymes of a hard-hitting alluring vocal.

Slalum stands with one foot in hip-hop, one foot in jungle, one foot in dub, one foot in R'n'B and one foot in pop. Slalom has many legs.

Purely stage-wise, a Slalum concert has become a packed experience. From having held lots of concerts in the company of the hometown crew HVADCRU, where the stage would be teeming with changing rappers and DJs, the rappers have now been given instruments in their hands. In addition, cello, sax, percussion and bass have been brought in to compliment the well-known live scratch sounds and to fire up the tracks for live shows. GAFFA called her a bouncy bouncy ball on stage, which stylishly gave a sled on the microphone. On stage, Slalum probably has more legs.
