Sebastian Stakset and the murdered rapper Einár made a song together about their mothers in 2019. In SVT Edit's new documentary "Einár 2002-2021" he tells more about their relationship and how Einár was inspired by the Cartel's lyrics about crime from an early age - where Sebastian “Sebbe Staxx” Stakset was a front man.  

- I had a lump in my stomach all the time about what would happen to him, he says in the program. 

Music can lead to escalation of conflicts

SVT's reporter Diamant Salihu believes that rival gangs in the criminal environment listen to the lyrics very carefully - and that in some cases it can lead to an escalation of existing conflicts.  

- They interpret it word for word, and some words can be directly aimed at specific people.

The rappers are well aware of this, but also those who are rivals.

For the rapper, it can be a direct danger to life, says Diamant Salihu.  

Nils “Einár” Grönberg was shot to death in Hammarby lake town in Stockholm on October 21, 2021. He turned 19 years old.
