Background
Bushido and Sido are successful rappers from Germany. They were former friends who had a fallout in 2004 when Bushido left their label Aggro Berlin as a result of a dispute with its owners and founders. Afterwards, both rappers insulted and dissed each other in public on numerous occasions. In early 2011, they reconciled after an eight-year rivalry and began to work on the album.
Singles
Two songs from the album, "So mach ich es" and "Erwachsen sein" were released as singles. The music video for the first single was shot in Kyiv and directed by Specter, one of the former CEOs of their label Aggro Berlin. The second single features German singer Peter Maffay, who re-sung elements of his 1983 song "Nessaja" from his album Tabaluga oder die Reise zur Vernunft.
