EP1 The beginnings Sep 23, 2021

Stationed U.S. soldiers in the Rhine-Main area bring hip hop to the whole of Germany, with New Yorker Rico Sparx bringing the scene to life. The rapping is in English.

EP2 Struggle for identity Oct 02, 2021

Early 90s: Hip hop is political and the message is spread in German. In Frankfurt, the Rödelheim Hartreim project, among others, makes headlines. But with the Fantastischen Vier, four German guys from outside the scene emerge and celebrate enormous success. Azad, Sido, Moses Pelham, Celo & Abdi and Jeyz, among others, tell the story of how hip hop rapidly becomes so big.

EP3 Against the current Oct 07, 2021

In 2000, a new era in hip hop begins with Azad. It's about poverty, integration, sex, drugs and violence. In Berlin, Aggro Berlin made headlines.

Sido, Azad, Bazzazian, Chima or Murat Güngör, among others, tell how this happened.
