history

In 2010, Captain Gips and Johnny Mauser published the download album Neonschwarz , which was indexed shortly afterwards by the Federal Inspectorate for Media Harmful to Young People because of the track Flora , which, according to the authorities, calls for violence . The album also features the song On a Journey , which the two rappers recorded with singer Marie Curry. A video was made for this song and published on YouTube . The video was successful and it was decided to continue working together. Neonschwarz was formed and the band signed with Audiolith Records .

In 2012 the extended play Unter'm Asphalt der Strand was released . The video for On a Journey was published again under the band name Neonschwarz, and videos were also made for Heben ab and The Rain . Home in the Heart was also released as a live video.

In 2013 a split single followed with the rapper Kobito . In the song In Your City , the new crew member Spion Ypsilon was introduced for the first time.

On September 19, 2014, their first album, Fliegende Fisch, was released and on May 6, 2016, their second album, Metropolis , was released, which reached number 81 in the German album charts.

The album Clash was released on October 12, 2018.

Neon black make hip-hop with left-wing texts in the tradition of Anarchist Academy . In places they refer to the music as " tick rap ". The band combines elements of pop music with heavier electronic passages. While Captain Gips comes from the hip-hop corner, Johnny Mauser is more of the backpack rapper . Marie Curry, on the other hand, is less of a rapper than a singer.
