listening to it for the first round i didn't get it, but after some rotations this funny/strange CD reveales its hidden power. probably the first real German ragga-CD as the lyrics (in English, German and Saxon) about hitchhiking, growing up and living in Plattenbau-neighbourhood and smokin' daylife experiences don't make much sense in other suroundings. the sounds and the music are dub and ragga influenced and have a nice home-recording feeling in some tracks, touching even lo-fi minimal electronics from time to time.i really like it, cause it makes me smile and nod my head though i usually avoid this kind of music and the related party-scene. this one is definitly more punk and underground than anything else, and it's herbal to the core, dude!
