They formed in 2000 in Oslo, Norway and released their first EP in 2004, Glasskår. They later released their first full-lenght album titled Rett fra hjertet in 2006.
Karpe Diem was established when the two wanted to enter a music competition, which they ended up winning with the song "Hvor er Willy?" and have been rapping together ever since.
They have performed live at more than 200 shows and the number is just growing. Karpe Diem is notorious for their sarcastic and politically engaged lyrics, and for their down-to-earth and nobel personalities.
On March 5th, 2011, they received the greatest Norwegian musical prize there is, "Årets Spellemann".
This was the first time in history that a hip-hop/rap group received this award.

Spis din syvende sans
Karpe Diem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Viste du at om livet mitt var en timeplan
Hadde du vært den der gymtimen vi hadde da vi var barn
Visste du at bankkontoen min er kontoen din
E'kke det fint? E'kke det snilt?
Nok en ting å dunke inn pinkoden til
Jeg veltet verden for deg, du veltet glasset på meg
Som gav meg en flekk på skjorta mi som fikk frem rasshølet I meg
At du er en del av planen min, det gjør deg overglad, bitch
Ikke be meg få noe struktur I en bransje full av kukhuer
Jeg er på et sted mellom pupper og foreldra mines kultur
Jeg og Magdi gjør det som ingen har gjort før
Kors på halsen, kniv I hjertet helt til mor og far er død
[Hook: Chirag]
Du hadde en plan for meg
Du hadde en planlegger
Jeg sparka planlegger'n
Vi ha'kke en plan lenger
For du ber om litt for mye, ber om litt for mye
Du ber om litt for mye ting
For du ber om litt for mye, ber om litt for mye
Du ber om litt for mye ting
[Vers 2: Chirag]
Husker du jeg pleide å være nørd
I hjørnet av skolegården sippe Kuli ut av bøyde sugerør
Men alt det der var før, kryp til de korsa
De griner I den Porscha mens vi smiler I Toyota
En ekte kjemp er generøs
Dø for venna dine eller dø venneløs
Og mamma sa en kråke kan'kke males til no' annet
Men til og med en kråke gjør et svalestup I blant
Det eneste døve med det er når fjæra treffer vann
Malingen renner av og alt det mamma sa, var sant
Jeg husker godt hun sa "Kors på hals, kniv I hjertet
Til jeg og pappa er aske og du er ferdig med konserter"
[Hook]
[Outro: Magdi]

Så spis
In the first verse of Karpe Diem's song "Spis din syvende sans," Chirag sings about the complexities of his life and the relationships he has with people. He compares his life to a timetable and states that if his life was a timetable, the gym class they had together as kids would be her slot. He reveals that his bank account is her bank account and that it is a nice gesture from him. He mentions that she is a part of his plan but calls her overjoyed and hints that he thinks it's too much. Chirag is seen as refusing any structure when it comes to his line of work because the industry he works in is full of "kukhuer." He implies that he is a mix of his parent's cultures and that he and Magdi do things that no one has done before. Lastly, he mentions that he would wear a cross on his neck and carry a knife in his heart until both his parents pass away to stand true to them.
In the chorus, Chirag talks about a plan that she had for him and how he kicked out the planner, implying that he did not like it. She asks for too much and too many things, which he doesn't agree with.
In the second verse, Chirag hints at his past, how he used to be a nerd and sip Kuli from bendy straws but things have changed now. He says that a true warrior is generous, and it is necessary to die for your friends than to die friendless. He also talks about the wisdom that his mother imparted on him where she said that even a crow could sometimes plummet (diving to catch prey). The only thing that is deaf is when his mother says that he has a cross on his heart and a knife in his heart and will carry it until he and his father pass away.

Another thing to remember the pin code for
Jeg veltet verden for deg, du veltet glasset på meg
I turned the world for you, and you spilled the glass on me
Som gav meg en flekk på skjorta mi som fikk frem rasshølet i meg
Which left a stain on my shirt that revealed the asshole in me
Du sier jeg er overfladisk, begge fråder rabies
You say I'm superficial, we both froth with rabies
At du er en del av planen min, det gjør deg overglad, bitch
That you're a part of my plan, it makes you overly happy, bitch
Ikke be meg få noe struktur i en bransje full av kukhuer
Don't ask me to have structure in an industry full of assholes
Jeg er på et sted mellom pupper og foreldra mines kultur
I'm in a place between boobs and my parents' culture
Jeg og Magdi gjør det som ingen har gjort før
Me and Magdi do what no one has done before
Kors på halsen, kniv I hjertet helt til mor og far er død
Cross on the neck, knife in the heart until mother and father are dead

For du ber om litt for mye, ber om litt for mye
Because you ask for too much, ask for too much
Du ber om litt for mye ting
You ask for too many things
Husker du jeg pleide å være nørd
Do you remember when I used to be a nerd
I hjørnet av skolegården sippe Kuli ut av bøyde sugerør
Sipping Kuli from a bent straw in the corner of the schoolyard
Men alt det der var før, kryp til de korsa
But all that was before, crawl to the crosses
De griner i den Porscha mens vi smiler i Toyota
They cry in their Porsche while we smile in our Toyota
En ekte kjemp er generøs
A true giant is generous
Dø for venna dine eller dø venneløs
Die for your friends, or die friendless
Og mamma sa en kråke kan'kke males til no' annet
And Mom said a crow can't be painted into something else
Men til og med en kråke gjør et svalestup i blant
But even a crow takes a nosedive sometimes
Det eneste døve med det er når fjæra treffer vann
The only thing deaf about it is when the feather hits the water
Malingen renner av og alt det mamma sa, var sant
The paint runs off and everything Mom said was true
Jeg husker godt hun sa "Kors på hals, kniv I hjertet
I remember well she said, "Cross on the neck, knife in the heart
Til jeg og pappa er aske og du er ferdig med konserter"
Until both Dad and I are ashes, and you're done with concerts"

Eat you seventh sense by Karpe Diem (english lyrics)
Did you know, that if my life was a schedule,
then you would be that gym class we had when we were kids,
did you know that
my bank account is your bank account
Isn't that nice, isn't that kind?
Another thing to press the pin code for
Man, i flip the world for you, you flipped the glass on me
that gave me a spot on my shirt
that brought out the asshole in me
You say that i'm superficial, both of us froth of rabies
The fact that you're a part of my plan
better make you happy, bitch.
Don't tell me to get organized
In an industry full of dickheads
I've been given my place
between boobs and my parents' culture.
Me and Magdi do what no one has done before
Cross my heart, hope to die,
until my mom and dad are dead.
You had a plan for me
You had a schedule
I sacked the scheduler
We don't have a plan anymore
(x2)
Because you ask for a bit to much
Ask for a bit to much
You ask for a bit to many things.
(2x)
Do you remember how i used to be a nerd
In the corner of the schoolyard
sipping juice out of bent straws
But all of that was before, eat humble pie
They cry in their Porche, while we smile in our Toyota
A real giant is generous,
die for your friend or die friend-less
And my mom said a crow
can't be painted to something else
But even a crow does a swan dive sometimes
The only lame thing about it
is when the feather hits water
The paint runs off and everything
mom said becomes true
I remember vividly her saying:
"Cross my heart, hope to die,
until me and dad are ashes
and you're done with concerts"
You had a plan for me
You had a schedule
I sacked the scheduler
We don't have a plan anymore
(x2)
Because you ask for a bit to much
Ask for a bit to much
You ask for a bit to many things.
(2x)
Eat, eat your seventh sense.
So eat, eat your seventh sense
So eat, eat your seventh sense
So eat, eat your seventh sense
So eat.

Karpe Diem spilte denne sangen på Hvalstrandfestivalen i dag. Etter første vers stopper Chirag opp og sier "Du kan hele sangen du?" til en jente på første rad. Så tar de henne med opp på scenen og hun får sitte bak med Magdi og alle de andre og synge med.
Mr. Cool Guy
Karpe Diem må være blant Europas aller beste rappere. Gode tekster, fete beats og utrolig gode liveopptredner. Kommer ikke på mange hverken i Europa eller USA som topper dem.
