TLDR

  • Norwegian rapper Store P, formerly of the iconic group A-Laget, has released his third album, "Alt på en gang."
  • The album's release follows a recent resurgence of interest in A-Laget after a video of the group was shared online.
  • Store P, who was 22 when A-Laget was interviewed before a performance at Bylarm, is now releasing music two decades later.

The Norwegian music scene is buzzing with the surprise return of Store P, a prominent figure from the legendary Bergen rap group A-Laget. A recent video of the group, discussing their underground hit "Bakerst i bussen" before a performance at Bylarm, has reignited nostalgia and anticipation for new material.

Now, two decades after that interview, Store P, whose real name is Petter Skarre Sundby, has dropped his third solo album, "Alt på en gang." This release marks a significant moment for fans who have followed his career since the early days of A-Laget, a group that left an indelible mark on Norwegian hip-hop.

While international outlets might focus on the surprise element, for us in Norway, this is a homecoming. Store P's journey from the underground scene to a respected solo artist reflects the evolution of our own music landscape. His work, like A-Laget's, is deeply embedded in our cultural fabric, and this new album is not just a collection of songs, but a continuation of a story many of us have been following for years.
