IFF you missed it: The Guardian was so kind to cover Schakkerhart and  the music known as  Hakke Rap (what, actually, means Schakkerhart).

Britains third biggest newspaper, not bad for a beginning. Worldwide recognition now!

Schakkerhart in The Guardian

“German rhymes barked over relentless gabba techno – is there a more frightening combination in hip-hop? Probably not”

Laughed out loud about the introduction. The concept works, apparently. Definitily good article, John McDonnell did a great job. Thanks!

The only comparison John found for our mash up from hell was Teki Latex from France who rapped on a hardcore tune once, too. To the author “German rap seems to work with gabba because the menacing intonation of the language matches the unrelenting techno beat. But French rapping over a hardcore soundtrack is pretty jarring.” While we only scared the shit out of him, French Hakke Rap is “more painful than listening to Jonathan Ross read every single word in the Oxford English Dictionary between “qwerty” and “saar”.” I don’t know who this Jonathan guy is, but believe it would be painful too if I tried to pronounce those words. Kwörtie? Imma keep rapping in German so we keep the frigheting harshness and The Guardian keeps liking our music.

I like Tekis Song too, covered it here once (French Hakke Rap. Lovin It.).

Again, I love it when a plan comes together. Yea our language might sound harsh to some. Yea, my rap style doesnt really make it a lullaby neither. No, I’m not what Adolf Hitler on a rap beat would sound like. And yessss the menacing intonation of the language matches the unrelenting techno beat. We do love that too. Somebody call the New York Times! We got a new song comming!

Ans yeah, dont forget to check the current one:
