Coming off the critically acclaimed "Summer Night Sessions" album from their 2023 release, Beneficence and UK based production duo Jazz Spastiks join forces again to deliver a conventional throwback sounding collabo joint entitled "What I'm Talkin' About".
Sharing pen duties with Phantasm, one half of former notorious Loud Records signees Cella Dwellas, the two golden era MC's paint vivid pictures of how Hip Hop made its phenomenal global impact from the "curb to the burbs". The track is backed with eerie jazz samples, tucked drums, and a boom bap backdrop, giving listeners that dusty and raw 90's Underground Hip Hop sound.
The track is taken from a very limited edition 12" vinyl courtesy of Votava Records in cooperation with Ill Adrenaline Records, also including two vinyl only remix bangers by famous German beatsmiths Figub Brazlevic and Retrogott.
Four legends on the mic, the speakers pulsate! With lines so epic - the FIGUB beat becomes a monument. German rap united, unforgettable - here forever!

In 2016 Fadi Ammous and the renowned music producer and beatmaker Figub Brazlevic from Berlin came together due to an inspiring workshop in Bethlehem. The aim of the workshops was to creatively support children and young people from the Shu'afat Refugee Camp in East Jerusalem. In this cultural exchange, Fadi and Figub not only discovered their shared passion for music, but also developed a deep friendship.
Fadi Ammous' lyrical skills and Figub Brazlevic's musical expertise harmonized perfectly, and so they decided to combine their artistic forces. This collaboration resulted in the creation of a unique album that combined the two artists' cultural influences and personal stories.
Taxi Ramallah became a powerful expression of the friendship between Fadi and Figub, as well as an artistic bridge between their different backgrounds. The tracks not only reflect the diversity of musical styles, but also tell stories of hope, resilience and the universal power of music to connect across borders and differences. This encounter in Bethlehem marked the beginning of a creative partnership that was not only artistically fruitful, but also helped to build bridges between different cultures and communities.
Watch out at the edge of the platform, the "Transrapid" by Galv and Figub Brazlevic is arriving and inviting you on a shared odyssey through a landscape full of smooth beats and clever wordplay. A joint record by the two underground veterans was long overdue, after all, their paths have crossed again and again over the past 20 years or so. An entire track, "East-West Session", was dedicated to the musical friendship, based on the series of events that Figub has been running for years. The producer conjured up a coherent sound for Galv. The beats flow almost seamlessly into one another and yet never sound monotonous. The tempo of the journey is constantly being adjusted: while in some places it moves forward with pressing bass and drums, in others the MC's performance is deliberately put in the foreground. And - as is usual with Galv - it is impressive. The rapper glides so smoothly over the instrumentals that it might seem as if he wants to hypnotize the listener, as in the intro "Sasse", for example. But to ensure that no one falls asleep, the rapper often flows at top speed and in a Galv-typical, convoluted manner. The train travels through some exciting thematic spheres: In "Frames", for example, the rapper reminds us how important it is to consciously perceive even the smallest moments of one's own life. "Escucho Como Suena" is a bilingual track with Spanish parts and the hook sums it up - translated, it means something like "Listen to how it sounds". You should take your time with this, after all, Figub and Galv have provided the album with many details and the songs with sprawling intros and outros. But their train also features some top-class guests. Galv sits in carriage "One" with Lupara Versato and BICOOOOOOOOO. But Figub and Galv also keep a place free for other guests such as Samy Deluxe, Nali, Flo Mega and Noritsu. DJ Robert Smith provides some beats with suitable cuts and the Sons of Hadzi, the duo consisting of Figub and his brother, refine the album again and again with wonderful guitar sounds. This sound design and Galv's sophisticated lyrics mean that you want to listen to the album again and again. "If this doesn't become a classic, then German rap hasn't got something." - let's be honest, German rap hasn't got a lot of things. But if you can't get enough of lyrical finesse, rap at the highest technical level and beats that give you a sore neck, you shouldn't miss the "Transrapid". Off we go!
With "Peaky Blinder" MC Rene and Figub Brazlevic deliver the latest forerunner of their upcoming EP The Old Man and the Beat. After two successful tours they show again why they are unbeatable as a duo. As rap-peace-soldiers, camouflaged, they enter the battlefield of modern music. Hungry and battle-hardened, they cultivate the timeless essence of hip-hop, breaking through the lines of superficiality with precise maneuvers. This track is their answer to the confusing fog of illusion - a quiet but determined march that shows that in the end it is not the noise that wins, but the substance.
While their next album is in production this fall, be sure to catch their entertaining and energetic live show - an experience that brings the true power of their hip-hop to the stage.

For MC Rene the year 2024 starts with a new song. "Mit Allen Wassern" is a production by Figub Brazlevic, with whom Rene has been working very successfully for several years. The duo is currently working on their new album, which will be released in the 2nd quarter of this year.
Melancholic keys, dark strings and Figub signature drums: "Jazz bei Nacht", the track by boom bap magician Figub Brazlevič, sends you on a journey through the dark side of the day. Lupara Versato's voice nestles to the beat and sings atmospherically of havens and abysses. "Jazz bei Nacht" is the perfect soundtrack for the darker hours of the day: melancholic but hopeful, calm and deep, relaxed but excited about what may come next.
