Bligg

You know how it runs (feat. Pete Penicka) The song You know how it runs is about the fact that you can get through difficult situations and that hopelessness leads to nothing.

Nonsense The song tells a story. Bligg is sitting in the restaurant with his new girlfriend and is suddenly asked by a mysterious voice to have sex with the woman. The two then have a heated argument in the toilet.

Sheanz ma Saiz (feat. Spooman & P. Moos ) Sheanz ma Saiz is the clique of Bligg, P.Moos and Spooman, the three most famous rappers from Zurich. The song tells that information always comes to the clique the fastest way possible.

En lonely Wolf This track is about the fact that Bligg is popular and acclaimed, but in reality he is a lonely wolf, a cowboy. The text also contains elements from the battle rap .

Deet isch Tüür In Deet isch Tüür , Bligg tells an unnamed partner that he has had enough of her and that she should leave him. In the chorus she is shown the way to the door.

Raw Dawgz (feat. Tha Alkaholiks ) In Raw Dawgz is asked to huge parties. The American band Tha Alkaholiks recorded this track with Bligg.

Pisackers The track, which by its own account is dedicated to all haters and envious people, is aimed at anyone who criticized Bligg. He says in the song that he never said he was the best, but that that wouldn't stop him from dissing those who hate him.

Now or never (feat. Ivy) In this song Bligg tells that he takes his career as a rapper seriously and that he makes his music now or never.

Entertainer In Entertainer , Bligg reports that he is not interested in money and success, but that he only raps out of love for music.

I see you I see you is a declaration of love to a nameless woman. Bligg tells her that his life only makes sense because of her.
