Cast

Cast is the solo project of Norwegian rapper and producer Karsten C. Andersen, a key figure in Scandinavia’s hip-hop scene since the ’90s. Known for his sharp, socially conscious lyrics and gritty, beat-driven sound, Cast blends Norwegian storytelling with nods to global hip-hop traditions. Tracks like "Betongmagi" and "Problembarn" showcase his knack for weaving urban commentary into head-nodding grooves, often reflecting on everyday life, politics, and street culture. A founding member of the politically charged group Gatas Parlament, Cast’s solo work maintains that same rebellious spirit while experimenting with eclectic production styles. His recent releases, including the punchy "Svever" and introspective "Lenge nok," prove he’s still a vital voice in Norwegian music, balancing raw authenticity with a veteran’s craftsmanship.
