Da Möb Explained
Da Möb is a Swedish adult animated series, created by Magnus Carlsson, about three youths who form a rap band called Da Möb. They go on misadventures to try to get a record deal; however, they are unsuccessful, untalented and they are fighting a losing battle to make it in the music business. The show is known for combining traditional animation with live action backgrounds. It aired in the United States from 2001 to 2002 and in Sweden from 2002 to 2003.[1]
