background

title

The title of the album, which also contains five songs, consists of the five digits 40213 and pays homage to the Düsseldorf postal code . It includes the districts of Carlstadt and the old town . In the immediate vicinity of the city is Olson's birthplace, Neuss .

"40213 is the postcode of the longest bar in the world, the source of all inspiration, the birthplace of every one of my songs."

- Olson Rough, 2011

Meaning and content

After individual song releases in the same year, the rapper was punished within the scene as one of the most popular and most promising newcomers. With the help of the EP, which was initially planned as an album, he tried to convey to his fans in which direction, especially musically, he would go in the following year, so it was more a product of the "sound-finding phase". In contrast to his previous releases, for example the demo mixtape Rudeboy 2008, which is geared towards party music , he broke the "rough" style that gave him his name, and now also went into the more melancholy sides of the party culture, because weekend excesses also include him negative aspects.
