| Summary/Abstract |
The common history of Islam and the hip-hop culture can be traced back to the early expression of the culture. Since the early days of hip-hop, Muslims have used hip-hop to convey Islamic messages. Artists driven, in equal parts, by a strong personal belief in Islam and a love for hip-hop music have taken Islamic-themed hip-hop outside its country of birth, the U.S., and have made it into a matter of global concern. In an attempt to contribute to and, hopefully, complicate the picture of what has been called the transglobal hip-hop umma, this article explores how Swedish Muslims articulate their beliefs through hip-hop in Sweden. With examples from both the Swedish mainstream and the underground, it highlights hip-hop music with an Islamic engagement whose aim is to promote and perform what is understood as "Islamic values," such as ethics, peace, social responsibility, and a strong personal belief.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the development of popular music in Mongolia over roughly four decades, focusing in particular on the emergence of globally inspired hip-hop and rap music. This is the period in which Mongolian popular musicians found their own voice within a rapidly expanding cultural mainstream. Hip-hop emerged within this mainstream as both a product of these developments and the result of the rise of a new generation of young people who defined themselves as distinct from the older, 'socialist-era' generations and used this music to declare this. The story of hip-hop's development provides us with a window onto the changing social, political and economic landscape of post-socialist Mongolia.
