Tank Marwin<\/strong><\/a> officially started his musical journey in 2003 when he released Initial Game Plan<\/strong> with the help of Ludvika-based crew Solid Senders<\/strong> who made experimental and alternative hip-hop\/electronic music. It was in this setting he befriended the late James Hall<\/strong>, a.k.a. Jah Rhythm<\/strong><\/a> (US\/SWE). Tank <\/strong>and Jah<\/strong> formed the group Weight Gain<\/strong> and recorded several songs, but the album\/EP never saw an official release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The group did however perform together and did multiple shows around Sweden, before parting ways because of creative differences. Tank<\/strong> released the mixtape Leave ya flat<\/strong> somehow during this time and the cd was bootlegged by russian mp3-sites and overnight saw several hundred thousand google hits of his name in lists with big established artists. Unsure of what had happened, Tank<\/strong> followed through on the momentum and begun recording his debut album Tank You<\/strong> together with production team Sansprofit Productions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tank<\/strong> pitched the album to Streetzone\/PPB while meeting up with the legendary Broadcaster D <\/strong>together with Bashie (Robert Valsinger)<\/a><\/strong> and signed his first record contract. The album released in 2004 and was well received and got some airplay on radio station P3, but the lack of a music video or clear single choice kept the album an underground gem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tank<\/strong> found a creative partner in Skitzophrenic<\/strong> and they recorded two songs together, The Island<\/strong> and Stray<\/strong> which were released as free mp3:s. Stray<\/strong> was an instant success and the two decided to record an album together, which also included Orphic<\/strong> on several tracks, and as part of the group which now called themselves Perfect Combination<\/strong>. Eventually Perfect Combination<\/strong> released the album Conquer <\/strong>which featured verses from Akem<\/strong><\/a> (SWE), K-Skills<\/a><\/strong> (US), Mc Tia<\/a><\/strong> (DK) and more. The album sold around 1000 physical cd-r copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After Perfect Combination<\/strong>, Tank<\/strong> and Skitzophrenic<\/strong> set out to record a Tank Marwin<\/a><\/strong> solo follow up to his first album on Streetzone\/PPB. The result was The Outburst<\/a><\/strong>, a hard hitting underground rap album with features from Jah Rhythm<\/a><\/strong> (US\/SWE), Truescribe<\/a><\/strong> (US), Bucc<\/strong> (SWE), Fort Knox\/Tabs<\/a><\/strong> (SWE) and more. The album entered the swedish album list and had a good buzz, when the record label unfortunately collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tank<\/strong> and Skitzophrenic<\/strong> struggled with how to either repair or move forward with the album, but eventually chose not to act on it, which makes the album a hard to find piece of swedish hip-hop history. Tank<\/strong> followed up with releasing Unofficial Business<\/strong> exclusively on one of germany’s biggest hip-hop webpages at the time and eventually teamed up with Skitzo<\/strong> and Orphic<\/a><\/strong> for Unofficial Business volume 2<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Going through personal hardships in 2009 Tank<\/strong> opted out of music and focused on other things, until he met Mr. Pony<\/strong> <\/a> at Bobby Royale<\/a><\/strong> rapper Isak Parker’s<\/strong> wedding and the two decided to record a song together for an art project and exhibition. Mr. Pony<\/strong> <\/a>and Tank<\/strong> later decided to make more songs which eventually resulted in the group Panzer Horse<\/a><\/strong> and the album Guns n’ Horses<\/a><\/strong> which was released in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 2024 and Bobby Royale<\/a><\/strong> album Red Flag<\/a><\/strong>. Isak Parker<\/strong> asked Tank<\/strong> to contribute a verse to the song The Originals<\/a><\/strong>, which also featured Orphic<\/a><\/strong> on the hook. Shortly after, a childhood friend of Tank<\/strong> asked if he wanted to make music for a dystopian tv-show in production. Tank <\/strong>agreed, but felt it was too much to take on himself and asked Bobby Royale<\/a><\/strong> if they should make something together for the show. The tv-show dropped off production and was placed in limbo but Bobby Royale<\/a><\/strong> and Tank Marwin<\/a> <\/strong>wanted to finish the album and released Under The Moon<\/a><\/strong> in January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the spring and summer of 2025 Tank<\/strong> decided to become self sufficient and make his own music, so he once again invested in equipment and set up a home studio. During the summer of 2025 Tank<\/strong> began work on 20+ songs, spending more than 10 hours straight some days, writing, recording, producing, learning how to mix and engineer. The first solo Tank Marwin<\/strong><\/a> song in 10+ years was Thesaurus Rex<\/a><\/strong> which was released in September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Janurary 2026 Tank released his first offical song in Swedish, Jordenbitar<\/a><\/strong>, and then followed it up with Tr\u00e4ffar Botten<\/a>, a song inspired by real life woes. During early summer of 26′ Tank Marwin & Icetail released four songs together, which are available as single releases on most streaming services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
