Here you’ll find information about Tank Marwin’s music releases.
2026
Single – Träffar Botten (Swedish language release)
About the release: Sometimes you feel like the shit, and at other times you feel like shit. This is that side of the coin. Most of the time through my musical life it’s been brag rhymes, punchlines, I’m-the-best type shit. This is the less glamorous version of life, when everything is just working against you. We all know it.
Album – Bobby Royale & Tank Marwin – Under The Moon (Staarsound)
About the release: So shortly after having featured on Bobby Royale‘s Red Flag, a childhood friend contacted me and told me about a tv-show he produced and asked if I wanted to make music for it. I was intrigued and interested because it would give my music a clear focus and purpose, but I felt it was too much of an undertaking to do alone, so I approached Bobby Royale and asked if they wanted to collaborate, which they did. We started working on the music, and envisioned the show’s setting and then just ran with it. What started as clear fiction then got inspired by all the crazy stuff going on in the world, which made the writing process easy. The shooting of the show itself didn’t progress as smoothly as our making of the music though, and after a while we pretty much had a finished album while the show was in limbo. We talked to the producer, and told him we wanted to release the album, before the songs felt too old for us, and not wanting to feel like we’d wasted our time and effort on making this. The album got released at the end of January 2026, and we still don’t know what’s going on with the series, or what really happened, but the music speaks for itself, and delivers a fragmented story that feels pretty real, considering how the world is at the moment.
Single – Jordenbitar (Swedish language release)
About this release: This one is special for me. It’s my first official swedish language release ever. I’ve rapped in swedish before, I did as a kid and I did in the late 90:s but when I tried doing it later on in my career it didn’t sound right. It sounded dated and comical. A lot of thought went into this, and I did several takes before I nailed the tone and voice I was happy with. I have to say, this sounds really good. Like Micke från Sansprofit said after hearing it ”If we had dropped this in 2004 we would’ve been established”. Skitzophrenic said it made him want to record a swedish language album with me, and that it reignited him. This song deserves more than it has gotten so far. Maybe it’s a sleeper hit.
Single – Dark Times ft. Christofer Swahn
About this release: Dark Times is about growing up during the cold war era, in the nuclear terror age only to end up in another cold war, where we’re all scared. Children aren’t exploring the world like we used to, enemies and threats are everywhere so we retreat to living our lives online instead of going outside. I think this struggle with screen time, social media and gaming and so on is something all parents in the western world experience. It’s something that’s causing a lot of frustration in a lot of parents, and we all just want to tell our kids to ”go outside and play”, but it’s not that easy.
Single – Where Are You?
About this release: This song is a mystery. It’s basically about searching for yourself when you’re lost. The war is metaphorical, it could be any trauma really. I don’t want to say too much.
Single – Time Travel
About this release: This is just a short take on what if you had the ability to go forward into the unknown or back in time and change things, something I’m pretty sure all humans wish was possible.
Single – Cold
About this release: When I came back to making music I realized that breaking through the noise and the millions of songs published every year online is way harder than I knew in by absence. So when grinding, constant posting on socials and the feel of screaming into a void makes everything feel cold you should keep making music, and stay true to yourself.
Single – Rhyme King
About this release: Another lyrical flex, with a fantasy medieval theme. This is for the boom-bap heads who appreciate similies and references. ”Serfs up, work the land while I collect the taxes” is a funny line if I may say so.
Single – The Multi-Verse
About this release: This is basically just a flex, dropping 28 bars in one take to this beautiful piano beat. The song is one long verse, no hook, just lyrics, it’s the multi-verse.
Single – Good, Bad, Ugly (Dat Shit Yo!)
About this release: These lyrics came to me while driving, so I freestyled and dropped lines into notepad with the mic on, but since Iphone’s really bad at this I basically had to rewrite the whole thing once I came home. The idea stuck though, there’s different types of shit in life, the good shit, bad shit and just ugly shit. Which is which is up to the listener to decide, this track is the shit though, and my first 2026 release.
2025
Single – Master of Rap
Single – Part of the War
About this release: This is war in three different perspectives: the leaders, the soldier and the soldier’s family. It focuses on the indifference in the ones who are sending people into the meatgrinder, the individual soldier’s experience and the surviving family. What it comes down to is that the soldier is expendable, part of a larger machine and that the ones willing to send him to certain death cares not. We’ve seen some really clear examples of this lately.
Single – Godly
About this release: Some morons on social media think this song is about religion, it’s not. If they would listen maybe they would understand, but I doubt it. This is basically about hubris, in a mythological shroud. It’s packed with references to greek and norse mythology. I’ve always been into that stuff, so doing this felt rewarding once it all came together. ”Doing battle in the tundra – that’s a cold war” is such a bad ass line.
Single – Another Journey ft. Punk Babbitt
About this release: This track has so much meaning, and so many layers. First, on Tank You, there’s a track called The Journey ft. Mystrow. This is a sequel to that. The journey we talked about continued for most of us, and it’s been more than twenty years since we spoke on it. Punk Babbitt is Mystrow, so we’re revisiting the theme but with matured perspectives. Second, the song is about life and death, and about the people you spend your time with, and the legacy you leave behind. This has a lot to do with Jah Rhythm’s passing, which stopped me in my tracks and made me think and feel a lot. Punk Babbitt and James were good friends as well, so we’re all connected in this song, even though James is not with us anymore, but his legacy is.
Single – Thesaurus Rex
About this release: Thesaurus Rex is me wanting to try something new, a new style of beat and a new flow, maybe to show that I can do it. I really do hate when people say ”you sound oldschool”, I’m molded by a certain style and we rapped like you did back in the day, but ”oldschool” to me is like the 80:s, not the early 2k:s or even 90:s. I wanted to show people I could rock a new type of beat, and still be lyrical and drop big words while keeping my style, that’s the meaning of Thesaurus Rex really. Technically this is one of my proudest moments.
2024
Feature on – Bobby Royale – Red Flag – The Originals
About this release: This track pulled me back in. Isak Parker of Bobby Royale, whom I’ve known for like 23 years or something asked if I wanted to join a track for their next album. I hadn’t recorded a proper song since Panzer Horse, so we’re talking like 11 years away from the mic. I felt I couldn’t pass on this opportunity so I began writing, what turned out to be a complicated fast verse, but the whole thing kinda catapulted me back into creative mode and I felt I needed to make more. The spark ignited the flame or something. Making music and writing felt fun again.
2013
Album – Panzer Horse – Guns ‘n’ Horses
About the release: The years don’t really add up when I’m thinking about how this album came to be. I had a break from making music, stuff happened in life and I couldn’t focus on it like before. It became a hobby during this period I’d say. However, I met Simon, at Isak Parker of Bobby Royale‘s wedding and we started talking music. He said he was working on like gameboy sampled beats for an art exhibition and could use a rapper. I thought it sounded like a fun project and agreed to make a song, which became Gameface, which when counting public reach most likely is the most widely heard song I’ve ever made (700k plays on TikTok – proof of that TikTok plays don’t transfer to Spotify streams). Simon, a.k.a. Mr. Pony and I worked well together and started making more tracks, which eventually evolved from 8-bit sounds to proper beats. The idea of Panzer Horse came when I watched Hell Came to Frogtown, which inspired some loose theme of a mechanical cyborg horse race in war with humans. The theme is basically explained on the track When Hell Came To Horsetown. This album is way better than what you could expect though. We completely failed to promote it and after several years of making it we were probably both a bit burned out, and the landscape was changing. This was my first Spotify release for streaming. I had no idea how to follow up on this. I’m still really proud of some of it’s finest moments, Panzer Anthem, Scientifical, A New World, Gameface and When Hell Came to Horsetown are dope tracks with unique production and are lyrically strong.
2008
EP – Unofficial Business vol. 2
About the release: This is me once again working with the people I was closest to. Skitzo and Orphic handled the production on this release. Orphic had taken a step back from rapping, but still feature with verses on two of the songs, and was exploring beat making and me and him have pretty similar tastes when it comes to hip-hop and beats so it worked really well. However, this album doesn’t really contain any standout tracks, and I think I was starting to lose steam here. Fall Back, which feels like it should’ve been on The Outburst and Music to Drive to are both pretty dope, but to be honest it’s probably more of the same.
Selected tracks: Music to drive to , Fall back , Rock the spot
EP – Unofficial Business
About the release: This is basically a collection of random songs I recorded with people during and after The Outburst era. I don’t really recall making these tracks, since it’s not a cohesive album like what I’d done before, but this collection contains five of my personal favorites out of all tracks I’ve done; Put Your Hands Up, I Know What It Is, Never Die, Ayyyday and He Ain’t Got Game. Skitzo, Fyra, Severe, Word-Rec and Sansprofit really came through with these beats. Since this album contains beats from like 8 different producers it feels more like a compilation of random tracks than an album, which it is really. It’s Unofficial Business since the way I released it was different, it was an exclusive release on a german hip-hop webpage which doesn’t exist anymore.
Selected tracks: I know what it is , Put your hands up , Never die
Album – The Outburst (Streetzone/PayPerBag)
About the release: This was the beginning of the end of an era. Up until this, things moved upwards for us, but the energy and time we spent on this release did not pay off. Listening to it now almost twenty years later I can only say it’s one hell of an album. I’m at the top of my game and Skitzophrenic was most likely one of the best, if not the best producer in Sweden, world class really. We worked on the album for about a year, putting the hours in with one goal: making the heaviest swedish hip-hop album to date. We came close. There are so many insane punchlines on this album. I should make a list really of my top 20. I’ll get to that some day. When the album released it made it’s way to the top 10 of the swedish album list, but pretty much as the album came out the record label fell apart and physical copies were sent back and the album became unavailable. Pretty sure this album was the last PayPerBag release. We still owned the masters, and we could’ve released it some other way, but ultimately chose not to. We were too tired and most likely disappointed.
Selected tracks: Razorsharp , Hip-hop , Honest Emcee
EP – Perfect Combination – The Perfect Netplay
About the release: These five songs pretty much just happened. I don’t really recall making them, or how it was done. We tried to follow up on Conquer, but at the same time evolve the sound. This release contains the closest we ever came to making a party anthem, and at the same time we fire several shots at different people who we had rubbed shoulders with during the Conquer era. It even contains a diss track to the Stockholm video game store Tv-spelsbörsen. It’s quite a fun release that no one has heard.
2005
Album – Perfect Combination – Conquer
About the release: Perfect Combination started out as Skitzophrenic and I making songs together. First The Island and then Stray, which eventually resulted in more songs. After a Tank Marwin live show in Nyköping where Orphic joined on the mic and Skitzo on the boards it was decided that Skitzo would move to Stockholm and that we would form a group together, which became Perfect Combination. The group’s debut album was pretty much recorded, so on the release version Orphic is only featured on four tracks, but we performed together, doing live shows and featured with a couple of songs as a full group on mixtapes and compilations. Reminiscing on this period, it’s most likely the peak of my musical journey.
Selected tracks: Stray
2004
Album – Tank You (Streetzone/PayPerBag)
About the release: I had gotten to know the guys in Sansprofit Productions through Johnny Bass and Jah Rhythm. Most, if not all of the beats on the Weight Gain album were produced by them and the title track on Leave Ya Flat was made by Samir of Sansprofit. I don’t exactly remember how things went, but we decided to make an album, a real album, not an ep, not a mixtape but a proper release and try to reach out on a larger scale. Once we got started I really wanted to bring in my friends and people I knew who rapped to make the album a fun exhibition of all the talent available in the swedish underground. Orphic, who later joined Perfect Combination was on it, Jah Rhythm, The Narcissists, Bashie, Mufakka, Pluralis, Mc Justice, Mystrow and Eis-One all helped making this a fun album. I actually only had two solo songs on it, but bringing people together is something I like so it was all good. Dagensskiva.com gave the album a 7 out of 10. There might have been other reviews and media writing about it, but it’s long lost by now.
Selected tracks: Rappin’ for life , Getting live , Assault pt.2
Mixtape – Leave Ya Flat
About the release: Leave Ya Flat is basically a collection of different tracks I recorded with different people in 2003 and 2004. I had basic recording equipment at home and recorded some verses over a couple of well known beats, for fun and for filling out the cd with more tracks. Maybe that’s what confused some russian bootleggers into thinking I was way more established than what I actually was. Over night the mixtape popped up on mp3 sites all over the internet, next to well established international superstars. I really don’t know what happened, but it was yet another motivating occurence that helped strenghten my confidence, because when I did stuff, stuff happened.
2003
EP – Initial Game Plan (Solid Senders)
About the release: Initial Game Plan is basically what set me off. Jah Rhythm and I had recorded the Weight Gain ep before I made the songs on this cd, but it was unreleased and stayed that way. Not sure why we never finished it. Initial Game Plan, as the name suggests, was me throwing myself head first into the rap game. The songs were all produced and engineered by the different members of Solid Senders in their Ludvika studio. I burned and printed the artwork which I made myself in Photoshop and put together, maybe like a couple of hundred cd:s. I sold them online, at shows and on Recordnet, where I spent a lot of time hanging out with Johnny Bass, Bucc of The Narcs and the owner Danne. Not sure what happened but the cd was nominated for best independant release at a Swedish hip-hop award show. The whole thing was kinda chaotic though, and I don’t even think a winner was announced for it, but the nomination was motivating.
