Promoe (Mårten Edh, born Nils Mårten Ed; 28 April 1976) is a

vegan straight edge lifestyle.[1]

Place in contemporary hip hop

Promoe released his third album in 2006, entitled White Man's Burden. This was followed with a DVD titled Standard Bearer, which includes a documentary about the development of White Man's Burden and a concert from Copenhagen.

In 2006, the German rapper Kool Savas released a diss track in which he slighted Promoe among other German and international artists. Promoe's response was the song "Sag Was" which he posted on premier German hip hop site rap.de, and was also released on a 7" LP and also on the CD of Standard Bearer in 2007. It has gone as yet without answer.

Promoe has been featured on many tracks with both Swedish and international artists. The song "These Walls Don't Lie", produced by

Big Punisher
.

In 2009, Promoe released his first album in Swedish called

Euro disco
-beat, which was commented on in the song "Skäggig Vegan" (Bearded Vegan). Having the same beat as "Svennebanan", and having a title similarly pronounced, the lyrics are highly critical towards the reception of the former song:

Topping the charts in Denmark and Belgium, you think that's my driving force? Think again. It was serious criticism of a culture that makes us feel like crap. But you can choose to listen to the eurodisco loop so I can sell more singles"

— "Skäggig Vegan"

The original text: (in Swedish)

Toppar listor i Danmark och Belgien, skulle det vara min drivkraft? Tänk igen. Det var seriös kritik av en kultur som får oss att må som skit. Men du kan välja att lyssna på eurodisco slingan så kan jag sälja fler singlar

— "Skäggig Vegan"

The second single off the album, "Mammas Gata", was released on September 11.[4] He also released a mixtape called Bondfångeri in September.[5]
