Looptroop has since day one been pioneers in the Swedish hip hop independent movement by showing that you can take things very far without any back-up from record companies, managers or booking agencies. By releasing and distributing their own records, combined with a lot of performing at clubs and jams around the country, they built up a reputation far beyond the Swedish borders.

In late 1998, Looptroop started the work on the album "Modern Day City Symphony", which contains all new material and shows off a significant development, both lyrically and musically wise. A record that was released in Scandinavia on the 17:th of April through a joint venture between David vs Goliath and the swedish indie-giant Burning Heart Records.
