content
On this album, BattleBoi Basti moves away from his child character and no longer raps from the perspective of a twelve year old school child. In many songs he uses the stylistic device of irony and advises the listener to drop out of school, for example, in order to concentrate on a rap career. On the MetalBoi EP he raps with a deep voice, which is based on rock singers.
Cover design
The album cover shows BattleBoi Basti's face as a collage with two different facial expressions. One part wears glasses and tears their mouth open and shows the childlike side, while the other part wears no glasses and has closed their mouths and represents the adult rapper. The background is in the colors blue and pink. At the bottom left are the white-green letters BattleBoiBasti and VoicesBruch .

reception
- The website rap.de rated the album positively overall and supported the filing of the children's image:
“On his second album 'VoicesBreak' - the title already suggests it - Basti is now beginning to cautiously break away from his old image. Specifically, this means that the quack voice, as concise and recognizable as it is exhausting, is used less often and even not at all on the first few songs. My ears like that. […] BBB makes fun of […] the illusory world of the rap business. Money and family horny vultures get their fat off in 'My Manager' or 'Drop out of school'. Amusing and entertaining. Also on the plus side: The coffee hymn 'Volle Kanne', which was rapped appropriately quickly for the subject, and the desperate declaration of love for the lost mobile phone 'Cordless disappeared'. [...] This is countered by the disgusting hymn 'PPP' with the 257ers, which offers three minutes of pee-kaka humor in a row - based on the motto 'pop, fart, squeeze pimples' - does not have to be. The two mailbox skits are also super exhausting and, if at all, only briefly funny the first time they are heard. [...] Apart from these weak points, 'VoicesBreak' is, however, a respectable further development. "
- The website MZEE.com also positively highlighted the less used children's image, but was generally rather cautious about the album:
“The successor 'VoicesBreak' sounds [...] more promising. This time the normal voice of the artist comes to the fore. The croaking rap style is used again, but to an acceptable degree. [...] The recurring singing is not bad, but it seems a bit forced in places and becomes very annoying after the half. And the voice that excited me so much with the early Ficksch releases still seems too soft here, even if the rap skills themselves are very presentable. [...] So in the end there is only one thing to say: BattleBoi Basti fans are slowly being introduced to the rapper's normal voice. Fans of the first Ficksch releases and the original, rough rap style as well as the harder content should still keep their hands off this. "
