  Followup Report: What's Crackalackin'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
One of the conclusions was that the Finnish hip-hop culture developed from its American equivalent and was first a direct copy of the American hip-hop scene, only transferred to Finland.
Finnish rappers and hip-hop fans have also created aspects of their own to hip-hop in addition to the features that are directly borrowed from the American scene.
Nevertheless, most of the Finnish hip-hop slang is very logical (and borrowed from English), and if one (a translator) doesn't know what an English hip-hop word is in Finnish, he or she might just leave it as it is and it'll probably be completely understandable for a hip-hop fan.

 H.A.N.D Productions presents « Time Tunnel »
Skillsters is responsible for producing the first ever finnish hip hop album and was also hired to produce and be a part of the live act of Finlands biggest dance music export Bomfunk Mc's on their 3rd album.
Many Finnish hip hop acts have also hired Infekto's avantgarde scratching skills and his fierce breaks and drum&bass dj sets have been heard from Tampere (Where his eclectic breakbeat club "beatformers" is running 7th year!) to New Delhi.
Infekto's tunes combine the whole spectrum of broken beats from funk to hip hop to nu-breaks to drum& bass not forgetting the raw ol' skool hardcore sound of 92' and a touch of jazz.

I also have to give credit to Fintelligens for starting the new wave of Finnish hip-hop few years ago.

 FinnScene
Finnish rock and pop media are usually not too interested in local underground electronic sounds, unless any of those acts gains international popularity, or there is a diluted pop chart version -- which is not too difficult to understand for an average trend-spotting music journalist worth his/her salt.
DJs filling the Finnish dancefloors at the moment are Jori Hulkkonen, Sasse, Marko Laine, Ender, Jokke, Borzin, Orkidea and Angel; not to mention DJ Kaippa, whose dance act 3rd Nation reached 1994 the British charts with their 'I Believe'.
Also Finnish jungle scene seems to be reality as of now, with such DJs as Infekto, Mekaanikko and Adder bringing the sounds of drum 'n' bass to unsuspecting clubbers and ravers.

 Finnish Music Information Centre
The commercial rise of Finnish dance music owes a lot to Jaakko "JS16" Salovaara, who was heavily involved in the two big successes of the early 21st century.
The hip hop culture is known for the quick rise and disappearance of names who often appear on each other's albums, and this in turn makes the whole scene a huge collective rather than a great collection of individual artists.
And step by step, the Finnish rappers are doing the impossible: they are turning the verbal rhythms, themes and attitutes of hip hop into a part of Finnish culture.

 Guardian | 'It's frightening when you play it the way I do'
And even if you were looking specifically for him, you might not recognise him: today his blond hair is a tangle of brown, courtesy of a dye-happy friend, and he's still wearing the glittery nail polish he painted on for a hip-hop gig back in Finland last weekend.
This may say more about the Finnish hip-hop scene than about Kuusisto, but there's something appealingly chaotic about a violinist who can play concertos in front of the LA Philharmonic, but is defeated by nail polish remover.
It's not that Kuusisto's enthusiasm doesn't lie with the Finnish classical music scene; indeed, as artist-in-residence at the Tapiola Sinfonietta and curator of his own chamber music festival at Lake Tuusula every summer, he's an integral part of it.

 Kiasma Magazine: URB 02 -Children of freedom of speech
In their song Voittamaton (‘invincible’) Finnish hip-hop group Fintelligens tells the listeners to write down their rhymes because in the future nobody will beat them, their words will not be wasted, they are just what the Finnish scene has been waiting for.
They master rhetoric and at times, their rhyming is nearly on a par with Elias Lönnrot, the compiler of Finnish national epic, the Kalevala.
Finnish hip-hop has many faces, such as Fintelligens, Paleface, MC Avain, and Kapteeni Ä-ni, but texts have also found their form.

Tuukka Rihkola alias Leijonamieli has been around about the same time as Finnish hip hop has been around.
His best-known project to date has been Flegmaatikot, a three-man band that was at the peak of its career in the early noughties, when Finnish hip hop took its first steps in the mainstream success.
And for a reason, too: Leijonamieli's imaginative hip hop is flavoured with soul and even good ol' rock'n'roll, so you don't need to be a purist to enjoy the vibes.
