background

In 2003, the Hamburg label Eimsbush filed for bankruptcy. The label had been a platform for hip-hop artists such as Dynamite Deluxe , D-Flame and Illo 77 . Samy Deluxe, a member of Dynamite Deluxe, then founded the label Deluxe Records as a sub-label of EMI Group . The Hamburg rapper also opened Hamburgs Finest as an independent platform through which artists from his environment could publish mixtapes. Apart from the different legal status of Deluxe Records and Hamburgs Finest , the same people worked on the projects of the two companies. DJ Dynamite took over the management of Hamburgs Finest together with Samy Deluxe and Illo and Headliners were the first musicians to use the newly founded Hamburg platform. The sampler Deluxe Records - Let's Go! was created to introduce Illo and the headliners consisting of the rappers Eddy Soulo, Neo and Dashenn, who at the time of the release did not yet have a permanent contract with Deluxe Records , to a wider audience. In an interview, Illo, who had previously experienced the work processes at Eimsbush , explained the differences between the insolvent label and Deluxe Records :

“Here is a basis on which business is done, and the music is built around it. At Eimsbush , the music was there first and then they tried to run the business on the side. There were five people sitting on the couch and smoking one - now we're going to the studio to work. Rap is our job. "

criticism

The German hip-hop magazine Juice rated the sampler with 4.5 out of a possible 6 “crowns”. Samy Deluxe in particular underlines its outstanding position among German rappers and is "beyond all doubt". But the headliners and Illo are also highlighted positively in the review. From the point of view of the reviewer, the titles Oh what, Mama and Homie of the headliners are close to "embarrassing". On the other hand, Sorge will be Song , SOS Love , Beatbox-Skit and Extra, Extra! praised. The editors named the single Let's Go! to the "single of the month". The text is not very original, but the production by Tropf and DJ Dynamite and Samy Deluxe Flow are positively highlighted.

Dani Fromm wrote a review about the sampler for the Laut.de e-zine . The sound carrier received four out of a possible five evaluation points and gave Fromm “considerable listening pleasure”. Let you know , Illo Anthem and This is HF are recognized for the productions at the start of the review. The texts of the rappers are varied, so that some titles can be assigned to the style of storytelling , including the pieces The journey is the goal , SOS love and Oh what, Mama . As a “personal highlight”, see Fromm's title Most Beautiful Woman . In addition to the lyrics, the reviewer also praised the rappers' presentation style, and the headliners, who were often negatively criticized in other reviews, were also praised. Fromm mentions the design of the artwork as the only negative point.
