Vogelfrei is the second album by the Lübeck rapper Albino . It was released on September 20, 2002. It was released on both CD and vinyl.
Emergence
After Albino had released his first record with the EP Lyrischer Resistance in 1998, the debut album Covered Up & Veiled followed two years later . Then he worked on the successor Vogelfrei .
layout
On the left of the cover you can see a black and white photograph of the artist's head with a thoughtful expression on his face, in which the right ear has already been “cut off”; the lower part of the head is illuminated a little brighter than the rest. Lights can be seen in the background at the bottom right. At the top right there is the writing "ALBiNO" in oblique, ocher-brown letters, underneath in white "vogelfreı". Between the artist and album title on the one hand and the lights on the other hand, all musical guests are listed in white letters and printed letters. The cover was designed by Barbara Sander, the photo is by Kerstin Schulz.
The booklet, which contains the texts for most of the pieces, is black and ocher brown, with lights also being visible in the background.

Albino worked on this album with several producers such as B-Base, Falk, Brotherman and Boulevard Bou . The recordings took place in Heidelberg, Kiel and Hamburg. Musical guests are Torch , Nemo, Ole, Nesti , MC ADOP and Koppaz.
Lyrics and music
Stylistically, the album can be assigned to Conscious Rap . Musically and lyrically, "Vogelfrei" is the rapper's most melancholy solo album to date. The intro is performed by Torch, who portrays himself and the other people involved in the creation of the album as part of an expedition and as the "last survivors" and "outlawed" " designated. In relation to others, it is about Carlo Giuliani , who was murdered by the police and who demonstrated against the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001 .
The album also contains a remix of Ohnerechte , made by 12 Finger Dan , which had already appeared on Albino's debut album Covered up & veiled . The text is about animal rights , with a focus on the moral status of animals within society.
In On the Way in Mind , Albino, Ole, Knoppaz and Brotherman describe the creation of a song together, including the route to the studio. Self-reflections are processed in the title piece Vogelfrei and in In Frieden Leben .
Original sound recordings by Rudi Dutschke are incorporated three times : On Kleine Welt this happens as a kind of intro, the parliamentary system is a one and a half minute, musically underlined ski, on Vogelfrei (outro) Dutschke's conception of revolution is reproduced.
promotion
A video was shot for the piece To all , directed by neoViel. It shows Albino together with his DJ 12 Finger Dan, the latter behind a record player , in the semi-dark, while scenes from the artist's everyday life are repeatedly faded in, sometimes together with musician friends in black and white.
The remix version of Without Rights included on the album was used as background music for an animal rights video called “Reality TV”, which shows how animals are abused and killed for human purposes. It was initially created without albinos knowledge. He only became aware of this when an animal rights activist showed him at a demonstration. The latter told him that the people who were regularly confronted with it in the pedestrian zone "reacted particularly agitated" . Since the rapper liked the video and was of the opinion that it showed "the goddamn normality" , he spontaneously decided to publish it on his 2005 EP No Peace .
