Illuminati is an EP by the rapper Prinz Pi . It was released on March 23, 2010 via Pi's own label Keine Liebe Records .

The EP is limited and available in connection with a Filipe Oliveira shirt. It is available exclusively in the Prinz Pi online shop.

useful information

The album is nicknamed Epos Posterior , which should mean something like the later story , but also explain the abbreviation EP, which was chosen despite the 13 songs and 52 minutes running time. The EP mainly deals with conspiracy theories. The three bonus songs (track 11-13) stand out in style from the others, as they are party tracks. The tracks Illuminati Reflux and Illuminati Res Medias are remixes of the track Illuminati from the album Teenage Mutant Horror Show 2 . " Reflux " means reflux in Latin and "Res Medias" comes from the Latin phrase in medias res , which means in the middle of things . Most of the production was done by the Royals, with Pi collaborating on one track and producing one himself. There are guest appearances on the record by Justus Jonas , MC Basstard , Casper , Grzegorz, Jonarama & E-Rich. The last song is a track from 333SDK, the collaboration with Jonarama.

review

On www.rappers.in the expectations placed on Illuminati were described as "largely fulfilled". The lack of “creative development” since the last album was criticized. The rating was four out of six possible points.

The cover was designed personally by Prince Pi. A pyramid can be seen on the cover. At the top of the pyramid is the artist's nasal bone with his eyes to the left and right of it. Ambigrams are the star with eight points around the all-seeing eye (22.5 ° rounded up 23 ), the ring with the decorations around the pyramid (180 °) and the 333SDK symbol on the forehead (120 °). There is a sentence in Latin on each side. Left: In hoc signo vinces (Latin idiom) to German In this sign you will win . Right: Homo homini lupus (abbreviation of a quote from Plautus ) in German Man is man's wolf . Below: Oderint dum metuant (quote from Lucius Accius / motto from Caligula ) in German You should hate me as long as you fear me . At the base of the pyramid, the album title is split up in capital letters. On one side there is ILLUM and INATI on the other.
