XBERG DHIRTY6 CRU - DIE WICHTIGKEIT (LP)

"It's the product of a hitherto unknown crew from Kreuzberg, Berlin, which is comprised of individuals such as ILL-TILL, TIGER, DER RICHTER, DER TRETBOTE, KNOCHENBLUT, DJ OPFERRILLE and their guests. They offer us a brutal and pitiless as well as gallant view into the abysses of our society, without resorting to waggling the gender specific measuring rod in front of our noses too often. Embedded into Crunk and uncompromising Rap beats, which mix very well with Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg or even Kanye West in the DJ set, these sickly underprivileged children with their self-contained anti prose rap themselves effortlessly to the top of the action. In contrast to most others, ILL TILL (the German HOUELLERAP) has avoided and jumped over the rungs of the darwinist ladder of gangster rap which are rusty and greasy with testosterone in order to kick start his totally idiosyncratic and dadaistic avalanche of rhymes."
