It's fascinating how quickly an artist enters the consciousness of the masses. After two street tapes "Search & Destroy" (solo) and "Blackout" (along with Bizzy Montana) as well as several features on various Ersguterjunge releases comes the gentle listener now able to enjoy the first solo album of Chakuza! And this is really a Hörschmaus! Mainly responsible for the beats show up again the Beatle Field guys to Chakuza & DJ Stickle and Tobstarr ("thank goodness" and "Over the top"), Crada ("Hollywood frost"), the Bozz musician STI ("Days of Thunder "" If all perish "&" City Cobra "), Sumo (" Killamusic "), RAF (" eye to eye, flap ") and Screwaholic (" outro "). But unlike many previous albums succeeds in quite elite squad producers to develop an integrated concept album. Many feature guest one seeks in vain, however, and that's good because Chakuza burns alone a fireworks display of skills from. He gets support from Bushido personally on the first single "Your children," the French RAF on the eponymous track "City Cobra" and the Mannheim veteran Sprachtot on "What do you think?".
The album is how it is to expect from Chakuza very bleak, melancholic and comprehensible. However, it is much more personal nature than the Street Tapes. But the very personal tracks ala "Should all go down" and "This One" are among the highlights of this CD. One gets the feeling with Chakuza in a face-to-face communication are at. Goose bumps! But the Punchline Santa Claus comes fully at his expense! "Days of Thunder", "Killamusic", "eyes", "flap" and "What do you think?" are true voice thunder and beat massacre!
Conclusion: At 16 tracks and 56 minutes and 55 seconds Chakuza shows all he can and that's hell of a lot! I let even carried away with the idea that "City Cobra" is the hip-hop album of the year 2007!
