style
The album is Azad's first since his Bozz Music label was dissolved . Azad does not distance himself from his past with Bozz Music , but confesses to it in several places on the album.
Azphalt Inferno 2 contains both hard battle tracks (such as Komm Ran ) as well as socially critical and more melancholic texts (such as Fly Away ) and thus largely continues the style of its predecessors.
reception
The reception of the album is very differentiated.
For example, guest posts, the so-called features , are often perceived as annoying and superfluous - especially Adem's appearance on Waz Lan Waz is a widespread reason for criticism. In contrast, the contributions by rappers Tone , Snaga and Godsilla are rated positively.
"[...] [V] Maybe not every homie should appear on a record right away [...]"
The beats, on the other hand - the background music of the individual songs - almost consistently described as suitable and atmospheric, and in most cases positively received:
"[T] he beat foundation [device] is flawless as usual."
The fact that the album is stylistically similar to its predecessors is the aspect that takes up the most space in the reception of the album. The assessment of this fact is different: Some critics see Azphalt Inferno 2 as a “decent” or even “above average album”, while for others the album seems “monotonous” and not innovative enough.
“On 'Azphalt Inferno 2' you get exactly the same as on every other Azad release since ... I don't even know anymore. Five years?"
