Cinematic samples and thunderous beats establish the atmosphere that makes Bushido's combustible lyrics bounce. The German rapper emerged from West Berlin's hip-hop scene with an intense gangster style that resonates with urban youth and riles the establishment. Unafraid of controversy, he's a lyricist with an aggressive flow who shines a light on political hypocrisy, social ills and the violence of everyday city life. On tracks like "Electro Ghetto", Bushido unfurls literate invective over a swirl of orchestral melodies and headbanger drums.
