reception
Marcel Schaar from Juice (magazine) writes that Disarstar smashed “the current German rap landscape” with the first single Death Metal . This succeeds "with a strong attitude and delivery".
In the online magazine MZEE , Daniel Fersch writes that Disarstar is presenting a "pure - albeit melodious - product". Even if he praises the rapper's personal and political content, he also criticizes Disarstar's new musical direction: "Where the raw, wild nature otherwise gave the rapper's sound the finishing touch, the new soundscapes seem too smooth" .
