Rotwild is the third album by the Munich rapper Fiva and the first without her partner DJ Radrum . The production was carried out by Flip (bourgeois Philipp Kroll), who is a member of the Austrian hip-hop group Texta .
Emergence
After Fiva had recorded two albums with her partner DJ Radrum, he wanted to devote himself to his media design studies in Salzburg with the aim of completing it with a diploma. So both agreed that they should record an album with another producer during this time.
She came across Flip because she had enjoyed the beats of his band Texta's Paroli album . When she met him on the radio station FM4 , she asked him if he would like to produce her album, whereupon she received 20 beats from him three weeks later by mail.
She got the name of the album because she said she often felt like a deer within the scene, whereupon she thought she was at least a "red deer". Since she liked this name, she chose it for the album.
Cover
On the cover you can see a pile of crumpled photos on a light gray background. On the front one, the upper body of the artist can be seen in front of a gray concrete wall, she is looking thoughtfully down and she is wearing a red jacket with a hood pulled over her head. In the foreground are the words "Fiva" and "Rotwild", large and one below the other in golden, "rollercoaster-like" font.
The booklet contains further photo stacks, in which further pictures of Fiva can be seen in the same outfit, one shows her with producer Flip and DJ Phekt. Matthias Friederich was responsible for the design, Andreas Waldschütz took over the photography.

style
With the exception of Flip, who raps along "from time to time", the album gets by without guest contributions. Stylistically, the album can be assigned to Conscious Rap . In “Anyway Me” Fiva demarcates herself from certain social groups in an ironic way. “Seeing the South” is about longing. “Capital Fever” deals with her hometown Munich. "Goldfisch" is about their position within the hip-hop scene.
reception
The album received average ratings on laut.de. While Fiva's talent as a rapper is recognized on the one hand ( "Fiva [proves] that she has neither forgotten poetry nor rapping. Lyrically," Rotwild "is in no way inferior to its predecessors." ), Radrum's absence has a negative effect. In conclusion, it says that the CD "unfortunately just splashes through your eardrum in places and does not leave any lasting impressions" .
On the other hand, there was a positive criticism from Intro : “Fiva flows with a warm voice, in the background there are really wonderful soulful brass samples (" Hauptstadtfieber "," Kleinkunst "," Südsehen "), and the lyrics are quite impressive. No thick pants, no lower class terror, but smooth elaborate announcements. "
In Rapspot the album received four out of five points. It is praised that Fiva pursues a certain claim. The artist was particularly convincing in terms of the text: “In general, one likes to listen when Fiva tells about life, because it is so understandable, because she lacks any self-congratulation and despite all the serenity she maintains a naive view of the world and music Has."
