Snook () is a
Swedish rap group from
Stockholm. The group consists of
Oskar "Kihlen" Linnros and
Daniel "Danne" Adams-Ray. The group often makes fun of traditional rap and tries to reinvent it. They have released two full-length albums and several singles.
In the
2006 MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen, they won the award for Best Swedish Act.
Linnros and Adams-Ray met in high school,
Viktor Rydberg Gymnasium Odenplan. They formed ''Snook'' (snok is a Swedish slang term for "nose") in 2000. The group's first single ''1990 nånting'' (Eng: "1990 something"), featuring
Afasi & Filthy, became a big hit in Sweden. They were critically acclaimed because of their different sound as compared to the general Swedish hip-hop. Their debut album ''Vi vet inte vart vi ska, men vi ska komma dit'' (Eng: "We don't know where we're going, but we will get there") was released in May 2004, and was one of the most praised records in Sweden that year. Snook received a
