reception

Charts

Limbus entered the German album charts at number 13. This makes it the rapper's first release that has made it into the charts.

criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Limbus with four out of a possible five points. From the point of view of the editor Dani Fromm, Prezident “needs at most half a track length to grab his audience and drag them into his world, which is criss-crossed with whiskey clouds. “For Limbus ,“ common song structures ”in the form of“ conventional verse-hook-verse-hook sequences ”have been largely dispensed with. On Doctor Eisenstirn / Coffee helps, Prezident relies on " continuous increase " and dispenses with the hookline . The music is characterized by “ blown, twisted, distorted loops and vocal samples, acoustic guitars, strings and drums ”, the “ tangled backdrops [result], into which one can let oneself fall without hesitation. "

Leaderboard

In the list of the best “Hip Hop Albums of the Year” 2016 by Laut.de, Limbus was placed 17th. So the listener should “ not be fooled by the extremely strange artwork [...]. "In Prezidents" limbo streaked with whiskey "is nothing rosy. The backspin Hip Hop magazine chose limbus at No. 4 of the best albums Deutschrap 2016. Prezident lay with the publication of a " very bleak, furious and fascinating album " and " his best project yet. “With“ every listen […], the recipient discovers new allusions and cross-references to Prezident's literary cosmos. "
