I recently discovered a tight German rapper. Megaloh is no newcomer to the scene. His rapping experience goes back to 1994. The talented emcee first started rapping in English, then he decided to release albums in his mothertongue.
The richness and musicality of the German language allows the artist to play with words easily and to hit the on the head when needed.

The mixture of piano and violin allows the listeners to slowly slide into one of Berlin’s most famous ghettos, Moabit, that is also well known for its strict correctional facility where French rapper MC Jean Gab1 happened to be emprisoned, and to get familiar with the passion and drama.

Meet Megaloh’s fellows, share the difficulties of German ghetto youths that often can’t compose with nor without the educational system. Listen to him, when he talks about the difficulty of growing up, the boredom that often motivates young people for criminality and other problems. In his critical analysis of German society, that often excludes minorities from the view of the media, Megaloh also expresses the pleasure of having fun together, partying together.

What I like with Megaloh is his straight street talk, his amazing flow, his dark voice and his personal way of exposing life in C-21, the Moabit area in Berlin.

While capitals often focus on mass tourism, they often forget about their ghetto inhabitants who are- whether people would admit it or not- of their country’s history.

You go, Megaloh…keep up your narrative skills and stormy flow delivery!

Have a look at Megaloh. It is entitled Pump Das/ Moabit lebt.

Rap 1- Teufel 0 is built like a captivating narration in which the devil visits the rapper in order to scare him. Despite his clear intentions to tear the emcee off, to rip his skin from his body, Sice Majestic opposes some powerful rhymes to the perverse master of darkness. Bass sounds contrast with lighter keyboard notes, in which light, darkness and a suspensful fight are strictly intertwined.
The spiritual fight is pretty much footballwise built. At the end of the song, the devil is sent back to hell, while Sice Mjestic scores 1.

32 Bars Quer is also a beautiful lyrical construction, in which Sice Mjestic flows like a devastating whirlwind.

In Dramaking 16er Contest, Sice Mjestic welcomes you into the world of my space competion. The young emcee who excels in handling words, begs to be different from all those annoying rappers who all sound the same.

Bring it home is a powerful, rhythmic composition. A euphoric spirit leads the song from the beginning to the end. Let him invade your ears with his ill flow. Mjestic stabs his opponents very astutely using the German language’s explicit imagery. I loved it!

Mjestic is probably one of German hip hop’s future heavyweights. You are going to like his instrumental and lyrical mastery. Enter his universe,find out more about Mjestic
