We always been Adam Tensta fans since we got to know his music through THE HUNDREDS blog, but since running into him in Frankfurt last year at a gas station, we are also absolute fans of him as a person.

So I was really stoked to see this little series by NIKE Sportswear Sweden, in which he meets up with Jonas Jerebko, the first Swedish player in the NBA. Making it to the NBA alone is incredible, but imagine to the first one of your country, it must be over the top!

In the 1st episode Adam flies to Kinna, Jonas’ hometown, is shown around by Jonas’ dad & checks out some pictures of the career of Sweden’s first NBA player to see how he slowly grew up into an NBA player.

Now, in Episode 2 Adam made his way to Detroit, where Jonas is playing with the Pistons. They are talking about the adjustment Jonas had to made, his first season, his injury, performing in front of audiences & crazy schedules.

In the 3rd episode Adam meets up with Juan Atkins, who was one of the people to help lay the foundations in the 1980s for Detroit Techno as it is known today. They are sharing their experiences on what good record feels like, but also discussing how the music business has changed the way you have to get yourself out there as an artist in this day & age with the digital revolution taking over.

In Episode 4 Adam & Jonas meet up in Stockholm to talk about their begginings, their struggles and also their goals.

The highligh of this series was the American Made event, that was basically a basketball tournament with an ensuing party. Dope!!!

But… was this really the footage of the 3 point contest?!??? And their Destroyer Jackets are fucking überdope!!! I couldn’t stop staring at those…!

It would also defintely be nice to see this kind of cool & interesting stuff happen in Germany, too.

As a little bonus you might like this video of Adam performing “They Wanna Know” in front of the last pieces of the Berlin Wall.

Hope you enjoyed it.
