German Hip Hop Music

Fünf Sterne De Luxe
This band from Hamburg (whose name could be approximately be translated into 5 Deluxe Stars), is considered as being one of the greatest promises on the German hip hop scene. Their intelligent and ironic lyrics are shot off by the 4 rappers over low funky lines and catching rhythms.

Their 1997 album Sillium is especially recommendable; it includes a song they recorded along with North American rapper Biz Markie, famous for his collaborations with the Beastie Boys. The soloist single edited by Das Bo, one of its members and titles Tuerlich Tuerlich is also recommended listening.
