L.O.C.

A leading light in the Danish ‘hard boiled' rap scene, the L.O.C. (aka Liam O'Connor, an artist of Danish and Irish descent) first came to the fore as part of the group Alzheimer-Klinikken in 1997. Over the years, he developed his sound, and -- influenced by the California/West Coast rap of the early nineties, created a sound that won the respect of Denmark's hip hop scene. His 2008 album, Melankolia, a study of sorts of the seven deadly sins, was a number one hit in Denmark. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
