110 is a song by German rappers Capital Bra and Samra , in cooperation with German pop singer Lea . The piece was released on September 20, 2019 as the fifth single from her collaboration album Berlin Leben 2 .

Origin and background

Capital Bra (2017)

The song was written by Vladislav Balovatsky ( Capital Bra ), Hussein Akkouche Samra, Lea-Marie Becker ( LEA ), Wim Treuner and Robin Haefs . The hookline is sung by Lea. The song was produced by the production team Beatzarre and Djorkaeff from Berlin . The song was released as the fifth single and the tenth track on the album Berlin Leben 2 on the major label Universal Urban .

For Lea it is the first collaboration with Capital and Samra. She said: “The story behind '110' is that Samra, Capi and I partly work with the same producer. And Samra and Capi told our producer that they somehow celebrate my music and that they would love to have a feature with me on their new album. "

In contrast to the previous single releases from Berlin Lives 2, which were announced several days in advance , 110 was only announced about an hour before the release on Capital Bra’s Instagram account. The song came out on the same day as Bushido's previously widely announced comeback song Ronin and was therefore particularly explosive, also because both singles faced each other in a direct duel for the highest new entry in the German single charts. In January 2019, Capital Bra and Samra parted ways with Bushido's label Ersguterjunge . On the day of the official separation, Capital issued a minute-long statement. In it he reported for the first time about police protection that Bushido received. He also accused his former label boss of cooperating with the police and betraying friends and was disappointed in him. He ended the statement with “But we are not a team. Police are your team now ” . Since then, there have been taunts from Capital against Bushido in this regard. At the end of August, Bushido first announced that he was working on a new album. In an Instagram posting time, he wrote , "Are you also think that it is enough with LaLaLa and lelele?" , Which was understood as a reference and a Diss against Capital Bra, which for the frequent use of Adlips as lelele is known .
