recently, a lookup from a number of prominent urban artists flourished on Instagram, and in the advertisement, which among others are shared by rapper Gilli, sounds a sharp criticism of the DR’s radio channel P3.
‘a Danish rap/hip-hop made by other ethnic danes have dominated the Danish music scene on the streaming/youth culture in several years, but is still no where to be found on the P3,’ is there in the advertisement.
Gilli has shared lookup in its story on Instagram. Private
for Extra Magazine elaborates a group of Danish rappers in the unified front now, the critics.
This initiative stems from a sense of wonder about why prominent artists from the urban/rap genre, as both streams very of, among others, Spotify, but also are carriers for a larger ungdomskulturel wave, are consistently under-represented on the P3’s rotationslister, says Ali Sufi, who owns the record label Heritage that stands behind, among other things MellemFingaMuzik and Jamaika.

in Order to substantiate the point point Ali Sufi on several examples of songs that have achieved success on the streaming service Spotify, but not have fared through the P3’s needle’s eye.
the Song ‘Jungle’ of MellemFingaMuzik has over 11,6 million plays on Spotify, while it has not been played a single time in P3’s transmission time. It was the only number that was not a christmas song, to lie on the toplist of the christmas in 2019, says Ali Sufi.
in Addition, the rapper Nodes number of ‘Super Mario’, who has about 10.4 million plays on Spotify, been played two times, while the track ’the Car progressing’, which he made together with the Suspect-rapper Orgi-E, has been played 54 times in the radio and streamed one million times on Spotify.
– We believe there is an under-representation of women and the absence of a particular type of music often with gadeinspireret poetry, as 99 out of 100 times be exercised by the artists from ethnic minority backgrounds. That is not sensitivity enough to show or reflect the culture and the music, which in principle has flourished and influenced the youth culture of the last five-seven years, says Ali Sufi, on behalf of the above mentioned artists.

P3: – We can’t look blindly on the streamingtjenesternes charts
Extra Magazine accuses the DR, and P3 to the criticism, expressed in the rappernes call.
Musikansvarlig on P3 Mathias Buch Jensen writes in a written answer that ‘when we select music, we can’t look blindly on the streamingtjenesternes charts’.
‘Lyttesituationen is often different on the radio, and on a streaming service, where you hear one thing on Tuesday morning and another thing, when you want to party. On the radio we should have room for several different genres, gender, Danish and foreign artists who are both established in the middle layer or completely up-and-coming’, he writes.
According to Mathias Buch Jensen, it is factually wrong to just this type of Danish rapmusik is nowhere to find’.
‘English rap has many different expressions, and we are trying to do the best of their ability to reflect in the music we choose to – while of course there must be room for more and more. To mention some current examples, as is ArtigeArdit this week P3’s Unavoidable, Branco, included right now along with Topgunn as one of the channel’s most-played, and ICEKIDDSs new single has just been addet. In addition, we have, for example, the weekly podcast ’the Backseat’ with the Sea and Kamal, which is dedicated to exactly this type of music and culture, and in ‘neon lights’ we have an editorial coverage of music based in the same’, he writes.
