reception

The website Rappers.on rated Slum Dog Millionaer with 3.5 out of a possible 6 points. On the surface, Kurdo seems to be “ at the level of a few years ago, both in terms of sound technology and thematically. “ Up close, however,“ Kurdo's interesting and poignant past becomes apparent, which he is able to tell artfully and credibly. “This gives“ his hard texts, which are bursting with rejection from society, a whole new perspective and a certain understanding of them. "The guest contributions by KC Rebell, Nazar, Mosh36, Eko Fresh and Kontra K" bring a successful change to the work. “The“ clean rap technique and always the right sound image ”are also praised. In summary, these characteristics make Slum Dog Millionaer “ perhaps not the most innovative rap album of the last few years, but still too much more than just a muddle. "

In a review of the Rap.de website, Kurdo is referred to as the “ prototype of the current street rapper ”. The rapper refrains from “ too much self-irony. “Instead, he weaves“ a lot of catchwords and stimulus words ”into a“ dense carpet of words ”that creates a“ mental cinema ”for the listener. Kurdo's life story forms the framework for Slum Dog Millionaer . On the piece Heimweh he describes, for example, “ the loss of [his] childhood, the flight to Germany, the feeling of not being welcome, the fear of deportation, the stupid looks. “The mood of the songs is underlined by“ mostly melancholy beats from Sonus, 7Inch, Abaz or Press Play ”. Miss you get “a bit cheesy despite good verses due to the hook of Niqo Nuevo, with less good will one might even find him ingratiating. "
