As a refugee from Iran , Nima Najafi-Hashemi moved to Berlin .

The first own tracks were sponsored by the rapper Frauenarzt , including the first tape Rap Demon 2000 on Bassboxxx.

Style and indexing
The album Obscuritas Eterna from 2002 landed on the index of the federal inspection agency for media harmful to minors . There were additional problems with the first tape rap demon . The original pressing contained a hidden track (not mentioned in the inlay), optionally titled bull bonus or bull murderer. In a 5-minute track, which was probably produced by the rapper gynecologist, MC Basstard and King Orgasmus rap about the hatred of the police in the form of as many detailed, cruel descriptions of murder as possible .
The Berlin police then used this song as an opportunity to search the label office and the apartment of an employee while preparing for the planned re-release of the tape. MC Basstard points out in an interview with Juice that this track was a response to his arrest on his 18th birthday.
