The Berlin rap crew “Berlin Boys” is turning their back on Germany: After tough years in the underground, often persecuted and antagonized due to their religious and ethnic background, the “Berlin Boys” are now following the call from the USA. Thanks to financial support from local rappers, the group has secured a deal with one of the hottest US producers!
Racism, sexism, and violence characterize the lyrics of the Berlin Boys. Despite this, their CDs sell thousands of copies under the counter. Titles such as “Crack is my Church!” and “F***ing like Hitler” were hits on YouTube until they were deleted. Flat-rate drinking and underage sex are portrayed as reality in their songs. However, German authorities have now threatened to ban their controversial lyrics. As a result, their new song “Hate” is set to be released in the United States.
While the rappers are overseas, their fans can stay informed about news through their blog.
