Malk de Koijn

Malk de Koijn is a Danish rap group formed in 1993, known for their innovative use of the Danish language. The group has 3 members, Tue Track (rap, keyboard & turntables), (rap & keyboards) and (rap).

Malk de Koijn was formed on New Year's Eve 1993, when Geolo G proposed that they should make a band which was to become the best in the world. At that time, Tue Track and Geolo G had already worked together on several occasions. Blæs Bukki had been a part of the Danish producer team Madness 4 Real. In the group's first years they became popular among the underground scene with their prods (songs copied on cassette tapes) releasing songs like "Lortesangen" and "Livet På Langestrand".

In 1998 their first album Smash Hit in Aberdeen was launched. The style was different from the usual rap songs at that time - the group rapped about their imaginary universes in Aberdeen (not to be confused with the city in Scotland) and Langestrand, and the (often bizarre) humor was the most essential part of their songs. The critics liked the album and it was nominated for a Grammy - in 1999 the group also won Maarums Lyrikpris, a poetry prize.

Their second album Sneglzilla was released in 2002 and once again the album was very well received among fans and critics. The Danish music magazine Gaffa and two national papers, Politiken and Ekstra Bladet, wrote that Sneglzilla was the best album of 2002, and it won two Danish Music Awards, two Steppeulve and six prizes at the Danish Hiphop Awards.

The band members often have "alter-egos" when performing, often wearing creative costumes at their sold-out concerts.

Between 2002 and 2011 the 3 members worked on other projects. Blæs Bukki, especially, has made a breakthrough with the Dancehall/ragga group Bikstok Røgsystem. Tue Track is working as producer under the name Track 72, and has released the album titled Rockin'. He's also a part of the band Booty Cologne. Blæs Bukki and Geolo G also was a part of the play Peer Gynt in the Copenhagen Betty Nansen Theatre.
