Artist Feature: Huss und Hodn

Tags: Hip Hop, Germany

They love the Oldschool and they like to buck the trend: Huss und Hodn is one of the freshest young German Hip Hop acts.

With their new longplayer Der Stoff, aus dem die Regenschirme sind (engl: the stuff umbrellas are made of) they show once more that you don’t need bling bling rhetoric to be part of the Hip Hop game. No – this buddys from Cologne like to stick out with free-spirited rhymes and some raw minimalistic beats. Sadly they only rap in German – a disadvantage that keeps them away from beeing internationally successful.

For their new tracks Hulk Hodn and Kurt Hustle went down deep into the discipline of battle rap. But not with a laddish flow because they like to see it all with humor and dis their colleagues winking. All this backed by beats reminiscing good old boom bap styles.

Overall they bewitch with fresh HipHop music that comes to stay with you. And even if you are not into beats and rap: their humor will definitely raise a smile.

  • Permanent Vacation:
    Radio Show

    Since 2006 Benjamin Froehlich and Tom Bioly run Permanent Vacation, a record label that is hard to pigeonhole. The Munich based community switches from Balearic to Cosmic, back to Disco nuggets or edgy House without loosing its focus.

  • Exclusively and very personal: Carhartt Radio isn't just another DJ mix! Personally the creators themselves will broadcast selected music and individual shows. Label owners, DJs and artists will play, perform and talk about their own music and their backgrounds. That's the intimate amateur view, brought by pros.

    Versatility is the buzzword — from bubble-bath-soul to technical death metal, from booty beats to nerdy hip hop from girl-pop to eclectic dubstep. The labels and artists involved in this project will represent their own genre in the stream and show the diversity of the musical world we live in.
