Linkoban

Linkoban (unknown - 17 February 2016), real name Ling Ly, is a Danish-Chinese-Vietnamese rapper. With an electro grime sound, she shakes up the scene with her lyrically hard-hitting sound. Her live performances hypnotize and assault both visually and sonically – with her style, wild limbs and signature waist length black hair. Her debut EP, “Super Into On It”, received mass critical acclaim and included the dance floor bass banger “Like This,” which was on heavy rotation on Danish national radio P3, Swedish national radio P3 and BBC Radio1. Pop-legend Boy George has praised the single and renowned fashion designer, Stella McCartney has also used it on the runway in Paris. Massive airplay and her incredible live performances have lead to extensive touring in Denmark and back to back tours in the UK, Sweden, Germany, and The Netherlands. Initially invited to tour in China, Linkoban was banned due to explicit lyrical content. A minor setup that fuelled her ambition to tour anyway and lead to a brief series of underground performances in China- and determined that it would certainly not be her last. In addition, Linkoban was invited to perform at Northern Europe’s biggest festival, Roskilde in 2012 and received critical acclaim across the board, establishing her as a bona fide powerhouse. Furthermore, she has been invited to come back in 2013. In 2013 Linkoban has been nominated for a Danish DeeJay Award for the category, “Best Urban Release" as well as three Gaffa Awards. Linkoban / Ling Ly passed away on the 17th February 2016 after a one and a half year battle against cancer. Read more on Last.fm.
