Creature Shock Radio is the second studio album by the Berlin hip-hop band Puppetmastaz . It was released in 2005.
History of origin
The first Puppetmastaz album Creature Funk received good reviews in the hip-hop scene and was seen as a bright spot in the genre. The band also had well-known appearances, including at the Roskilde Festival and the Sónar in Barcelona . Nevertheless, the band lost their record deal with the EMI Group in 2004 . They then switched to Louisville Records (including Jeans Team ). The second album Creature Shock Radio was released there in 2005 . The album was produced by Bomb 20 , Joe Honda , N1tro and Patric Catani (E-De-Cologne), the makers behind Puppetmastaz. In addition to a normal CD and LP version, there was also a CD with a DVD containing skits, music videos and interviews.

Music style and lyrics
As with the previous releases, Creature Shock Radio is a satire on hip-hop. The texts are placed in the mouths of puppets, which mainly spread clichés. The hand puppets represent types of rappers . For example, the mole Mr. Maloke is the leader of the farce , while Panic the Pig attracts attention with violent texts. As in the previous version, the puppet crew's lyrics are directed against people, but this time also against their own problems and aggressions (e.g. in Midi Mighty Moe and Spitwalk ). When song Mastaplan the dolls get support from human rapper Soom T . Musically it's mostly old school hip-hop. However, various hip-hop trends are also addressed, including contemporary R&B , toasting and crooning .
