German rap between antithesis and lovemaking, guitar riffs and catchy hooks, sense striving and transience, "Spice Girls" and punchlines. In 2023, TIDUZ. reinvents himself and at the same time returns to the roots that he used to sprout as a metal guitarist on the stages of various youth centers. Together with the Hanoverian producer Ikarus, the rapper has created a sound that perfectly reflects his musical socialization and transfers it into today. The energy and impulsiveness of bands like "Enter Shikari" or "Placebo", which are still blasting through TIDUZ. The energy and impulsiveness of bands like "Enter Shikari" or "Placebo", which are still booming through TIDUZ. headphones, have finally found their rightful place in his tracks. Lyrically, TIDUZ. also moves on a new level without leaving his basic principles behind. Sexism, Mackertum, racism and reactionary Stammtisch-Dullis still get the middle finger in the face they deserve. But now more organically and subtly. After TIDUZ. has worked intensively on Germany and other social grievances on previous releases, he now directs his gaze to something that is both more obvious and easier to influence: himself.

Somewhere, in the middle of the creative wasteland of the Tegernsee hinterland, where laptops work without wifi and yet a musical, modern success story is unparalleled: ALLY transforms acoustic in the country to punk in the city! How the probably most extraordinary punk - comet starter manages this is obvious: GenZational Punk is the soundtrack of a whole generation, all this young, wild and yet enlightened sympathetic "best youth" the Federal Republic could ever see. Perfectly painted fingernails cement dirty power chords from long gone punk rock generations on the "six-string" propagated by rock legend Bryan Adams: ALLY serves as the punky voice for their generation, which is struggling with far different things than their predecessors. That's because social media, the driving tool of this era, doesn't only bring positive sides. Anonymity takes on toxic proportions and significantly affects personal lives. So they lie awake in their beds at night, thinking about the day and becoming "overthinkers." Whether the relationship is with themselves, in love or in friendships, each person has their own struggle to fight, but the thoughts unite them all. But every revolution has to start with one person, right? So ALLY takes all those late night thoughts, puts classic punk energy on top and creates an unprecedented punk rock genre for everyone who wants to lie awake as long as she does and feel like they belong. And with that, it confronts the clichés of previous generations - in the back of their own, somehow never gone away regular stories between TikTok and Snapchat are no longer suppressed in GenZational Punk, but fought against! Because Bryan Adams and Co. would be so incredibly proud of this enlightened and open-minded generation of humanity that so many people today miss in their own youth. Emotional topics, free thoughts, which are allowed to exist completely naturally outside of interwoven brains, can be found by all the overthinkers*, misfits, poppers*/punkers* and cool kids in GenZational Punk! ALLY offers with a terribly sympathetic manner and the Voice of GenZational an energy - explosion, which is unparalleled even in Female - Fronted Punk circles and in company with singers like Chrissy Constanza "Against The Current" or Elize Ryd "Amaranthe" can provide for many pride tears! It is exactly in this so well-balanced mixture of clear attack on senseless generation conflict, deep emotional connection to the GenZallys, as she affectionately calls her community, a music that is somehow just criminally missed and just yet the love for the typical 20-year-old things (yes man, Gucci belts are just damn cool - shut up now, Instagram says so!) that she offers a home to so many people. And so a whole new punk rock decade around the GenZallys is rejoicing over the brand new single "Game Over", which was released on 01.09.. A song for all who have recognized their own value after knockdowns and realize that the best revenge is their own happiness. Angry and yet self-confident lyrics paired with haunting punk melodies make up the work of ALLY with South Germany's number 1 producer Nick Hermann. An anthem to finally let out all the pent-up anger and finish with a smile - and that no matter if you listen to it alone in the bathroom in front of the mirror or send it as a message to one or the other person to finish. Because the game is over, game over. (source: artist info)

With lyrical uppercuts, ZIK creates loud visions in her rap lyrics. Whether live MC at jams, demos or concerts, the rapper/dancer has been on quite a few Munich stages. Lyrically she threatens and encourages at the same time, empowers herself and others and thus wants to create change. The goal of her music, which combines a powerful voice with hard krump beats but also soft melodies, follows the socially critical understanding of hip hop, as well as her unstoppable belief of a fairer world for all. "We are many" she says "With music it makes sense to fight for the first time". Her attachment to hip hop started at a young age and was reaffirmed through the project "Word Up - Rap and Poetry against Racism and Discrimination", as well as the street style dance community, until she founded her own hip hop collective "MOVEmeant" in 2022. Since then she has been involved in many ways as an artist/organizer and makes clear statements through her music & passion. (Source: Artist Info)
