A few days ago, YouTuber and investigative journalist Trap Lore Ross published his second web-based documentary of 2024 with a look at “Sweden’s Deadly Gang War.”
Focusing specifically on the ongoing feud between the gangs Death Patrol and Shottaz, Ross provides a comprehensive breakdown of how Sweden’s current gang situation came to be and the factors contributing to the conflict that continues to terrorize communities in the Nordic country.
As Ross explains, “I’ve never covered a story as brutal as this. As a result the video has been HEAVILY CENSORED to comply with YouTube’s Community Guidelines.”
Video chapters include a look at the evolution of Swedish rap, which dates back to the early 1980s, how gangs came to exist across Sweden, the infamous “Forex Heist,” the rise of rapper Yasin, the surge of Swedish drill music, the bloody winter of 2017-2018, “The Copenhagen Killings,” and the story of Swedish rapper Einár, including his kidnapping and subsequent murder.
“Sweden’s Deadly Gang War: Death Patrol v Shottaz” has been viewed over 250K times since being published on Feb. 29.
