Rheinisches Blatt

Description

Re-release of Umse's 2008 album on vinyl! The Ratingen-based MC's 2008 concept album is entirely based on a daily newspaper. Umse consistently remained true to his independent, intelligent, and humorous style here – not least because of this, he always stood out clearly from the current hip-hop scene in Germany. On this 12-song concept album, editor-in-chief Umse approaches all topics, from "Politics" and "Economy" to "Personal Ads," "TV Program," "Weather," and "Obituaries," with a wink: his personal experiences, ranging from nationwide live performances to evenings watching TV on the couch, serve as starting points. Umse's technically skilled, passionately creative, and perfectionistic writing style invites the listener to a long-term auditory experience. The beats on "Rheinisches Blatt" come from Deckah, Firstar, Tesk, and DJ Radrum. Especially the use of numerous vocal cuts from the first German-made Golden Era of Hip Hop makes "Rheinisches Blatt" a classic hip-hop album that fans from the early days will definitely enjoy.
