Stuttgart’s rap rebels Die Orsons have made tearing up the rules their default position. While resident producers/MCs Tua and Maeckes tinker with discordant sounds, lyrical maestros Bartek and Kaas shape sly proverbs that act as political kindling. But the bond between the group and their fans always comes first, with the unguarded “Das Leben ist sch” and the tour bus anecdotes shared on “Leb schnell”. The crew are masters at balancing wit and wisdom—Star Wars puns and insightful soliloquies alike unspool over an eclectic blur of beats—but Die Orsons always make music to heat up the soul.
