Looptroop Rockers is a music group from Västerås, Sweden. They play a mix of reggae, hiphop, and electro. The band sings mostly in English, but also in Swedish. Their original name was simply Looptroop.

The band formed in 1991 when Promoe and Embee started making music together. By 1996, the group was complete with the addition of Supreme and CosM.I.C. They are now known as one of Sweden's most successful hiphop groups internationally. The name Looptroop comes from "loops," which are repeating musical beats, and "troop," meaning they sing about important social issues.
