Labyrint formed in 2007 was a Swedish hip hop music group from Gottsunda, Uppsala.

After performing for a number of years together, in 2007, they had a breakthrough with "Vår Betong" and in 2009 collaborated with Masse from The Salazar Brothers to release a mixtape that became popular through downloads on Whoa.se website.

However their launch was marred by Växjö cancelling their show after advice from the security authorities about the controversial use of cannabis during their gigs. This turned into a public debate in the media about drugs in hip hop culture.[http://www.svd.se/kultur/labyrint-ar-storst-i-landet-fororten_6677834.svd Labyrint är störst i landet förorten] {{in lang|sv}} Labyrint's debut studio album on the label was Labababa that was released on 30 November 2011 in the wake of the controversy. It included collaborations with Kapten Röd and Gregor.[http://www.unt.se/kultur-noje/labyrint-har-hittat-ratt-1555125.aspx Labyrint har hittat rätt] {{in lang|sv}}
