Love it. Please we need more of this. Do more!

The "language" they use is something that (derogatory) was called "Kebab-Norwegian" years ago (oh you got the info). "Kebab-Norwegian" developed in the big cities where refugees and immigrants from many nations and cultures met (more or less happily). This is how the two in Karpe met (they used to call themselves "Karpe Diem"). The main vocalist has Indian roots, and the rapper has Egyptian-Norwegian roots) As in any cultural melting pot, one starts to borrow words from each other, hence "Kebab-Norwegian", meaning how those eating foreign food speak Norwegian to each other (This is a very simplified explanation). I am sure you can find "hoods" in the US with similar sociolects, bringing Spanish, Chinese or Italian (etc.) slang to top off "base English". Karpe, made by two men with different backstories meeting in high school has over 24 years become the heart of Norwegian identity by describing the process of trying to fit in (a problem that every kid/student/person walking into a new workplace regardless of culture must confront). This clip is from Karpe selling out Oslo Spectrum for ten days in a row as a statement (some 100,000 people saw this show) I get that reacting to Karpe now does not give you many views, but I recommend you listen (if not reacting) to their live version of "BARAF/FAIRUZ" from the same concert while paying a lot of attention to the lyrics. (Baraf means "snow/ice" and Fairuz means something akin to "abundance of wealth"). It is an astonishing piece of art. I think you as a teacher will find some reference points about second-generation young kids, Paul. Finally, "Salmalaks" is a HUGE company selling salmon (laks in Norwegian) from Norway by the billions.
