1. SUSPEKT is a danish hip hop / rap group which was made in the 90's. The group originates from the mid 90's, where hip-hop received a great deal of attention in Denmark.
At first there were three members: Rune, Andreas and Emil - also known as Rune Rask, Bai-D and Orgi-E, respectively. Over the years the three members were writing a lot of lyrics, heavily producing beats and having a good time while hanging out in a basement. One day in 1998 a guy named Per Hjalteson got the idea that they should make an album, and before any of them thought of anything they stood in the middle of a studio in Vesterbro. The year after, the trio called SUSPEKT and the record company TABU RECORDS, were founded.
Later that year their first album came out, called SUSPEKT, and was printed in 500 copies. Without any publicity (except flyers and posters) all the copies are sold within 4 days. Tabu Records decided to print an additional number of 2000 copies and to make a deal with regards to distribution together with Indielabel and the distributor of Voices of Wonder (now known as VME).
Suspekt went on their first tour in 1999 in Denmark. They went to Venue festival in Pumpehuset, Copenhagen and there was a DR P3 live team at the event TRAX in Vordingborg. It was during this tour, that the group featured the rapper and producer Troo.L.S, who later became an important character in SUSPEKT. In the late summer of 2000, SUSPEKT were producing an album featuring some of the most recognized rappers in Denmark, tha album was later called Tabu Rec'z and it had artists like: Clemens, L:Ron:Harald, 4FOD, Kælderposen, West West, Taskforce, Sidste Niveau og L.O.C.
At Tabu Records Rune Rask and Troo.L.S. had now established a close relationship, and the producing team of SUSPEKT was now made up of Rune Rask and Troo.L.S. With the name Full Impact Production (F.I.P.) the clan of rappers and producers made themselves a well-credited name up through '99 and '00.
Tabu Records keept producing records with artists like L.O.C. U$O and Troo.L.S.
In the year 2003 their next album "Ingen Slukker the Stars" was published. This was followed by 2 tours in Denmark and a performance at Roskilde festival.
To top all this they now made a DVD which is, according to themselves, some of the best they have made so far.
Their newest album Prima Nocte was released October 1st 2007, and was a subject to much more attention than their previous albums. The album was received well, by both audience and critics.

2. Suspekt is also the name of a canadian electronic music producer, creating tribal rhythm, and almost an el salvidorian swing. Or at least, thats what he'd have you believe
3. Suspekt were formed around 1992, but DJ Prime Suspect and Lennie had been making demos and recording together since late 1988. It was about mid 92 and the first serious demo "Look like a rapper" was recorded. DJ Prime was also producing another vocalist at the time, Pride, who was part of local group Code 7. After a meeting at a jam, Prime thought it would be a good idea to get Pride on a track he was working on called "Hope and glory". Pride’s vocals fitted the topic of the tune perfectly and Lennie knew there was something there, and shortly after Pride was part of the group.
Pride brought a new stance and purpose to the group and shortly after, the Under Suspicion EP was recorded, produced, and distributed during a European tour which saw dates all over the UK and Germany, touring with Son of Noise, Red Ninja, Blade, Killa Instinct, Gunshot, and guesting with German crews. After touring for around 2 or 3 years the group disbanded, with Pride leaving to persue other musical avenues.
Still feeling that there was a point to be proven, the group reformed with Blue Eyes (who needs no introduction!) around a year or so later. The groups subject matter changed, promoting realism in a time when most UK rappers where imitating their US counterparts. An EP shortly followed entitled "Bury the bullshit" and while on tour to promote this, once again in Europe, the video for "Blow up" was filmed, recieving airplay on UK, French and German TV.
The group then released there first LP "The Underground Strikes Back" which was recorded over a period of around 9 months with guest vocals from USA underground veterans The Mystik Journeymen, with DJ Format from Brighton producing a number of the LPs tracks. Pressed by Move records in Germany, the LP was released in 96, and a small UK tour shortly followed, the LP was a success in Germany and did well in the UK’s underground movement, making it sought after in record stores.
The LP tracks were the last ones recorded as the group were to split again at the end of 96.
2007, and during a reunion of local old school b-boys, Suspekt decided to reform in a time when the UK’s grime scene is the main sound of the UK’s underground. The result? Lennie, Pride, Scenes 14 and DJ Prime Suspect all appeared on the first tune made in over 10 years, " Back from the Dead" which brought them back to they're original, uncompromising sound.
They then released they're second album 'Dead Men Walking' which is an absolute breath of fresh air to a scene that is mostly filled with out of date vocals dropped over hollow, drum machine inspired beats. The album is a mixture of mid-tempo, moody tracks combined with faster, Britcore sounding stompers that will make your ears bleed. Additional vocals are supplied by other well established MC's including a verse from Blue Eyes himself.
As another chapter unfolds, Suspekt are definately 'Back From The Dead' with tours & dates here within the U.K & abroad with the likes of Son Of Noise, Killa Instinct, Drunken Eejit, Mantis Chapter & Inzaine.
Midt i en drøm
Suspekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
jeg snakker om en side hvor der var knap så kønt
Alles mål var at lave en plade, skabe ballade og fortælle om hvad man lavede, remouladestræde.
Så vi lagde lortet ned og sendt det til tryk
og håbede på der var nogle der kunne tage det et længere stykke.
Men ingen vil lægge navn til rædsel og frygt.
Bange for et rygt der kunne smadre det fundament de havde støbt.
Så vi måtte lave ting og skabe vores eget, for i pladebranchen er det ingen hund der fatter så meget.
Mit liv, min drøm det hele starter her, tanker fra mit frikvarter.
Jeg ikke troede der ville klarer sig mer'
Men vi kan løfte i flok og komme til tops.
Vise resten af verden de kan ta deres shit og stik det op.
Det hele var en drøm som ikke længere findes
Fortiden er bedre som kun mig og mine venner mindes
16 år, man drømmer om at rejse bort
og overtage resten af verden fra sit eget fort
Det hele var en drøm som ikke længere findes
Fortiden er bedre som kun mig og mine venner mindes
16 år, man drømmer om at rejse bort
og overtage resten af verden fra sit eget fort
Vi byggede Tabu op fra bunden
drengene fra Lunden og et par stykker fra Frederikssund
Bare for at få lov til at lav noget musik og få pigerne til at kig på den store butik så vi fik
bygget en bar, det gik som det gik når man blandede sprit med plader og man drikker for tit;
og har Liam (L.O.C) liggende på sin briks med et greb om sit skridt
I tre år med Rune Rask og Tabu-Per (Efter det er I gift?)
Os andre på visit på skift når vi ku tag et lift
ude fra forstaden, man vi var sgu næsten gift
Ingen havde gryn til at ta ind til byen
og dem der boede derinde levede af knækbrød med Stryhns
Lyssky, med verden liggende for fødderne
Viva den hårde kamp det smerten der føder det
og jeg har vidst det pis fra vi var kids
Så vi fik den første feedback i Berlingeren af Henrik List
Det hele var en drøm som ikke længere findes
Fortiden er bedre som kun mig og mine venner mindes
16 år, man drømmer om at rejse bort
og overtage resten af verden fra sit eget fort
Det hele var en drøm som ikke længere findes
Fortiden er bedre som kun mig og mine venner mindes
16 år, man drømmer om at rejse bort
og overtage resten af verden fra sit eget fort
Vi tog den fra forstaden til byen
så bort fra had fordi vi selv mente vi havde den nye lyd
Holdt fanen højt selvom folk vil skide på os
Den var drøj noget tid fordi folk blev ved med at misforstå os
Fik chancen af Clemens der var kongen dengang
Skabte lidt røre i andedammen
i selskab med nyt blod blev vi ført frem.
som det nye håb der sammen skulle ud og tage
trusler på skiver.
Ikke et sekund fik gøglerne lov at ha
til at tænke over hvad der var sket
synes vi ihvertfald selv trods det stadig var dem der solgte mest.
Men, det hele var en drøm som måtte videreføres, uden nogensinde at sælge ud, men fucking gennemføres.
Vi gik til stålet med fucking blod på tanden
slukkede al tvivl udelukkende på baggrund af tillid til hinanden
og pludselig var sponsoratet i hus første udgivelse sikret en dag vi altid vil husk';
og derfra blev målet at tag lortet vidre
Ik' bare rap, druk og hor men også snak om de mørke sider
Vidreudvikling ideer der var pludselig hul på bylden
et brud på idyllen, en chance for at lægge det plat' pis på hylden.
Og ikke bare diske op med endnu en genganger.
Men tage den helt ud på dansk og genopliver den fucking genre.
Men, det hele var en drøm som måtte videreføres, uden nogensinde at sælge ud, men fucking gennemføres.
Fik lov at spille Roskilde fuck folk var vilde
den største dag i mit liv siden jeg var lil'
og efter det show var der ingen der kunne rør os
al respekt til dem der var før os, men de vidste det kunne blive større
Så der var lagt i kakkelovnen til endnu en skive
(noget jeg ikke kan høre) og primitive
men sådan føres livet der hvor vi er fra
ikke til at beskrive fucker medmindre du kommer der.

The song Midt i en drøm by Suspekt reflects on the band's early days and the struggles they faced trying to make it in the music industry. At the start, everything seemed possible and all they wanted was to create something they were proud of without being famous. The lyrics mention the challenges faced when trying to release a record and how difficult it was to get someone to endorse their work. They were afraid that any negative feedback could ruin their chances of making a name for themselves.
The song reflects on the time when they were young, dreaming about traveling to other parts of the world and dominating the music scene. They talk about their journey from the suburbs to the city, trying to get their music noticed. They built Tabu from scratch, collaborating with various artists and creating a buzz that caught the attention of Clemens, who was the king of their genre. The band faced a lot of criticism and misunderstanding for their style of music, but they believed in their sound and kept pushing to prove themselves.
The song showcases the group's resilience and determination, that despite the hurdles and nay-sayers, they continue to push forward in pursuit of their dreams. The lyrics reflect on how their early days laid the foundation for their success today. The past may no longer exist, but it is a reminder of how far they've come and how much they've accomplished.
