backgrounds

The first single, Birds , was released on February 13, 2009 as a digital release. More Tears was released as a remix with the Minden rapper Curse as a second single. In addition, a video was made for The Essentials .

The idea for a joint album came up about four years before the release, also because many fans asked for a collaborative album by the two artists after various joint tracks. Over the years, both of them repeatedly confirmed their work on the album in interviews, but an exact release date could not be given. The work had to be postponed, among other things, due to the founding of the label Jonesmanns in early 2008 or the completion of her solo projects. In December 2008, the then untitled collaboration album was finally announced for February 27, 2009. Shortly afterwards, the title Four Fists for a Hallelujah , based on the film with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer , was announced. In the run-up to its release, there was an uproar over a comment by Olli Banjo about some fans demanding the album. In an interview, Banjo said that he had "high expectations of the album" and that "it had to be chartered in any case, as everyone had asked for it". Opinions on the comments were divided.

Producers

Most of the beats on the long player come from B. "Blanco" Bazzazian , who produced for Gentleman and Azad , among others , and Olli Banjo's house producer Roe Beardie. The Hamburg producer phreQuincy also contributed a beat, as did S. Buchenauer and the duo M3 & Noyd, who were responsible for the number 1 hit Prison Break Anthem by Azad and Adel Tawil in 2007 . Lex Barkey from Frankfurt produced two tracks.

Reviews

The online magazine Hip Hop Jam awarded the album three and a half out of a possible five points. The two's project seems “lyrically somewhat one-sided” and creates “thematic monotony”. Nevertheless, 4 fists for a Hallelujah is a good, but also “mostly solid album”. The strength of the duo lies above all in the “more serious tracks” like Columbine , Mehr Tränen or Das Ende .
