In recent years Americans have heard hip-hop from the UK (Roots Manuva, Lady Sovereign), Japan (DJ Krush, Teriyaki Boyz), Canada (K-os, Buck 65) and even Australia (Macromantics). But next month, Babygrande will bring the Snowgoons, a quartet of German producers (Det, DJ Illegal, Torben and DJ Waxwork), over to America. Their debut, German Lugers, is set for release on February 27.
German Lugers…corny, right? But check out the crazy guest list: Sean Price, O.C., Edo G., Living Legends, Rasco, Chief Kamachi, Last Emperor, Jus Allah, El Da Sensei, Wise Intelligent, Reef The Lost Cauze, Doujah Raze, MED, Craig G., Celph Titled, Baby Blak, Pumpkinhead, Afu-Ra, Wordsworth …the list goes on and on. With over twenty MCs on tap, the album is one big massive cipher.
German Lugers‘ first single is “Never,” a joint featuring Reef the Lost Cauze. Sample some tracks on Snowgoons’ MySpace page. It’s on some backpack thug shit — that’s what Babygrande mostly specializes in — but the beats ain’t bad.
