The demo tape is the first solo album by the rapper Bushido , who released it in 1999 and sold it privately by distributing individual tapes to friends and acquaintances. At that time there were only 50 to 100 copies; However, the album was re-released in 2005 on Bushido's label ersguterjunge in combination with the tape King of Kingz .

production

Bushido produced the entire album with simple means in his nursery. He used the Audiogalaxy program to search for samples. For the song The Crew the same sample was used that Samy Deluxe had used on his song "Eimbush Stylee" a year earlier.

Guest Posts

There are a total of six different guest artists on the album. Vader, who first brought Bushido to rap, can be found four times on the tape. Even King Orgasmus One , with the Bushido, the label I Luv Money Records founded and together with Bushido and Bass Sultan Hengzt in the hip-hop crew Berlins Most Wanted , was found on two tracks on the album. All guest contributions come from rappers with whom Bushido had a lot to do in his private life and with whom he had dealings even before the album was produced. Bushido had built beats for the rappers even before the album was produced and so some of them had worked together before.

Trivia

Three songs were called differently on the 1999 edition: "Westliche Kammer" was originally called "Der Weg des Kriegers", "10 vor 12" was called "What is it about ?!" and "Allstars" was called "La Force". "Frauenarzt" was called "Günny" in the first issue and "Orgasm" was called "Ohrgasmus". “Prolletik Poetik” was no longer available on the 2005 version and was called “Süd Rap stars” on the 2003 version. One copy fell into the hands of Danny Bockelmann by chance , who worked closely with Bushido on later albums under the name D-Bo and together with him founded the label ersguterjunge.
