Snowgoons is a hip-hop production team from Germany, consisting of the founding members Det (D. Keller) and DJ Illegal (M. Ruckert), as well as Sicknature (J. Andersen), DJ Crypt aka Thommy Tornado and JS Kuster .
Band history
The Snowgoons were founded in 1999 by Det and DJ Illegal with the maxi single from Pal One from Mannheim. In 2004 the vinyl epic Hip Hop - The Return of the Culture with the old school rapper Donald D followed on the Frankfurt label Hot Shit . Also released in 2004 on Hot Shit is the maxi single Clip Full of Ammo with J-Sands from Lone Catalysts and Mitchell Hennessy.
A year later (2005) the maxi-single Who What When Where with Celph Titled and Majik Most was published via the online shop HipHopVinyl.de (HHV for short). This maxi single was taken from the 2007 debut album German Lugers , which was released on the US label Babygrande Records . Particularly noteworthy is the feature list of artists from across the US underground hip-hop scene, including Sean Price from Heltah Skeltah , Edo G., Reef the Lost Cauze, Rasco from the Cali Agents , Jus Allah, Chief Kamachi, Living Legends and Wise Intelligent.
In 2008 the second album Black Snow was released again on Babygrande Records. There are a total of 47 artists on the album, which includes 21 songs . a. Ill Bill , Defari , Psycho Realm , Army of the Pharaohs , RA The Rugged Man .
At the beginning of 2009 Babygrande Records released the double album The Snowgoons Instrumentals on which only the instrumental versions of the two albums German Lugers and Black Snow can be heard. In May 2009, the project A Fist in the Thought was released with the South Carolina artists Lord Lhus and Savage Brothers. This project is considered a collaborative album and was also released through Babygrande Records.
In July 2009 another project followed, called German Snow , which is dedicated to German artists such as Curse , Aphroe ( Ruhrpott AG ), Nico Suave , Torch and many more for the first time. The basic idea is to remix the first two albums German Luger and Black Snow and to feature a German rapper on each song. Since there is a connection with German rappers and the titles of the first two albums, the name German Snow explains itself. German Snow was released via Mad-Flava Records / Groove attack .
In 2009, the third official album The Trojan Horse was released again on the US label Babygrande Record in October. At the end of 2009 a free download album called Black Luger was released, which is the counterpart to German Snow . On Black Luger the remix versions of the original song by German Luger and Black Snow are also only this time without the German features and are available for free on the Bandcamp website . Together with the rapper and producer Sicknature from Denmark, the Snowgoons released the mixtape Banished From Home .
In December 2010 the Snowgoons released their fourth album entitled Kraftwerk on their own label Goon MuSick. The music video / short film Global Domination , which was produced by the Canadian production company Reel Wolf, will be released for the album . Also on Goon MuSick the Snowgoons released the projects The Iron Fist , which is the second part of A Fist in the Thought from 2009, and the digital EP Virohazard with Viro The Virus in the first half of 2011. In October 2011, the Reef album followed the Lost Cauze and the Snowgoons with the title Your Favorite MC . In October 2011 Sicknature and JS Kuster were announced as official members and since then the team has consisted of four people.
For the first time again on the Babygrande Records label, the joint album with the New York rap duo MOP and the title Sparta was released. In 2012 the new and fifth Snowgoons double album Snowgoons Dynasty was released again on Babygrande. In 2013 the project The Goondox, consisting of PMD by EPMD , Sean Strange and the Snowgoons, entitled Welcome to the Goondox, was released via RBC Records and Goon MuSick. The same goes for the Virtuoso CoVirt Ops: Infantry album produced by the Snowgoons, also via Goon MuSick. As a second solo album by Sicknature, Nature Of The Contaminated was also produced by the Snowgoons and released via Goon MuSick. The last release in 2013 was Black Snow 2 as the successor to Black Snow from 2008.
The first release in 2014 is the Onyx & Snowgoons project - #WakeDaFucUp, which was also published on Goon MuSick.
In the fall of 2014, they released a joint album called Bodhiguard with Absztrakkt , which entered the charts at number 37.
In autumn 2016 they released the album Goon Bap , also through Goon MuSick , which was created in collaboration with many artists of American underground rap .
