Der Holland Job
In the tradition of a big gangsta rap collabo album such as "23" by Sido and Bushido or "Jung, brutal, gutaussehend" by Kollegah and Farid Bang, Haftbefehl and Xatar going by Coup present us "Der Holland Job", which was musically conducted by the producers Bazzazian and Farhot. Accordingly, it is a huge album that musically feeds on the current sound of French and American role models as well as the East and West Coast rap of the nineties. Exactly the approach that has helped both scene heroes to their current size in recent years. In interaction, the duo runs perfectly like Method Man and Redman and entertains - in all the harshness of the story and content - infinitely entertaining like the legendary films of Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. However, only making a joint album would be out of the question for calibers such as Haftbefehl and Xatar. That's why a film was shot without further ado. The album "Der Holland Job" is accompanied by the short film "Der Holland Job."
