reception
The album received mostly positive feedback.
The reviewer Robin Schmidt from the Laut.de e-zine awards three out of five stars. Haze describes his milieu as "dark", but it is "believable". He captivates "in terms of flow with speed and precision".
The reviewer of the online magazine rap.de writes that the "unique slang of Badeners and individual foreign-language words [...] make Haze absolutely unique". In addition, the rapper “got his stories to the point even better”. So every song creates "its own atmosphere".
For Lukas Päckert from MZEE , the album tends to be viewed from a positive side. It hits “a rough, dull boom bap, which at the same time perfectly captures the gloomy mood of the seventeen tracks”. It could be "almost completely convincing", only the topics were "monotonous".
The reviewer of the trade magazine Juice is largely positive. The story is "varied" and "down to earth". It is summed up: "The unapproachable demeanor, the dry manner of presentation and the charming Eastern Bloc slang give the album a wonderfully nonchalant aftertaste that is bursting with authenticity".
