Classic 1

Marteria "jumping from level to level" and has reached "Fortunately in the future," a new level. Major contract with Four Music and platinum production team The Krauts as musical support. A Top 10 entry is therefore probable and justified. From sales figures can be, unfortunately, or fortunately rather say nothing about the quality of a disc. But when a veteran Deutschrap as Jan Delay says that he would enjoy getting to German rap by this album, it has to be something big.
The first makes "final boss", perhaps one of the most personal songs on the disk and thematically a good introduction to the world of Marteria. Underlaid is his report on football career, model plane and the music business by a synth board that but in my opinion not quite fit into the sound of the rest of the album.
So I had the first wow experience only with the second song "Verstrahlt". Supported by Yasha, here a timeless hit has been created which no longer goes out to every time, regardless of whether rap lover or not, beneficial eats into the ear canal and there so quickly.
Mass appeal, yet not sell-out? It does not work? Go already and Marteria proves to all twelve songs. Finally, it has an artist once again managed to take the scene typical blinkers and look outside the box of youth culture hip hop in the adult world. Detached from thematic and artistic boundaries that many colleagues even impose itself, Marteria raps about his own or made-up stories, such as from Amy Winehouse. When times no storytelling is operated raises Marteria issues that have us all busy before: insomnia (Veronal), the fear of getting older (nodding) or the question of how to communicate someone an unpleasant truth (as I Do the clear).
All this tells of an artist who really knows his craft. No slips, no filler and texts where you also the 100th time, eager to listen and discover new subtleties. If such a talented rapper so long honing his lyrics and rumstreicht until they are free of unnecessary ballast, proves not only a high degree of self-criticism and perfectionism, but also inevitably leads to lines, as set in stone. Marterias "thoughts of diapers Gone". This results in stories, pregnant images, puns and double meanings, without ever being too overly intellectual or ansträngend for the listener.

"But from the skin, moved to Cologne in the neighborhood, and rented an apartment in the Christopher Street. And Papa cries, even after eight bottles of nitrous oxide"

This textual masterpieces are accompanied by the sound worlds of Krauts. These prove to full length, that they are also able to produce a proper Rapp bar and create the way really big music. The album you have to listen to loud and with a good investment in order to really appreciate these boards can. "Krauts Bassline" paired with perfectly set Drums, always form the basis. Decorated by samples, synths and live instruments, was created a very round and unmistakable sound of music that is melodic, bass annoying, big and dirty at the same time.
Further support for Marteria among others of Casper, but the "All prohibited" can run up to top form on the common track not. Maybe it's the somewhat futuristic-sounding beat, the Casimoto bit takes the wind out of the sails. To illuminate the common enemy and to realize that one is unfortunately often enough myself one of them, although Casper definitely the right partner, but this song is missing the last kick. So does this co-operation, despite Caspers vocal power, in addition to the large caliber of the plate, a little weak on the chest.
Other features, such as Peter Fox, Jan Delay and Miss Platnum, make as much better. This is perhaps the fact that they complement the songs especially in the chorus and so miss the respective individual works the finishing touches. So these prominent features work, also because Marterias own presence, never as a selling point for the mass market.
After many hours in which this album already blaring from my speakers, I understand what Marteria meant by 'Verstrahlt' - this album that shows the musical landscape that luckily goes into the future with German rap.
