Genetikk - D.N.A.2

Genetikk reorients its trajectory with D.N.A.2, a record released between the previous studio album FUKK GENETIKK (2016) and the following opus Y.A.L.A (2018). Released on August 17, 2018 by Outta This World, this eleven-track project brings to a close a period rich in touring. The structure is clear: the album begins with Intro and ends with Mailbox, framing the eleven tracks. Genetikk4ever and Wenn die Vögel singen (feat. OG Keemo): pillars of a bold lyricism

The central tracks of the album hold an important place in the overall structure. Genetikk4ever serves as a reference point within the eleven available tracks. As for Wenn die Vögel singen, the song features OG Keemo. The presence of this collaborator on track 5 offers a sonic and rhythmic contrast that shows the evolution of the group's sound. OG Keemo's contribution to this track specifies the artistic intention without seeking to impose a style that is otherwise imposed. Träume (feat. Olexesh) and 5ive Hoes (feat. Kollegah): the density of German featureings

The album also explores collaborations with other major artists on the local scene. On Träume, the title features a different vocal style to enrich the listening experience, marking a departure from the duo's solo productions. Track 9, 5ive Hoes, features Kollegah. This collaboration recalls previous interactions with Kollegah on other tracks. The pairing on this song confirms the duo's status among the established peers of German rap. Linie 666 (feat. Tiavo): the culmination of a trajectory marked by major scenes

The collaboration with Tiavo is also among the album's highlights. This appearance on track 10 demonstrates a capacity to integrate complementary voices without altering the album's identity. The density of the guest appearances, totaling four tracks with credited guests, attests to a precise positioning strategy. The Sarre duo's trajectory is part of a discographic continuity, with D.N.A.2 acting as a crucial link between the previous studio album, FUKK GENETIKK, and the following release, Y.A.L.A. Released on August 17, 2018 by Outta This World, this project marks a decisive step for the two collaborators, who have known each other since childhood and began their musical career at the age of 13. This constructive rigor, evident in the structure of eleven well-defined tracks, is a continuation of a rich history marked by major previous albums such as Voodoozirkus (2012), Achter Tag (2015), and D.N.A. (2013). The release of this album comes after an intense period marked by tours abroad, notably the participation in the European tour Oui je le suis with Sefyu in April 2012, and performances at the gamescom 2015 event in Cologne. This stage presence is here translated into a confirmed density of guest appearances: four tracks out of the eleven features leading figures of German rap, namely OG Keemo, Olexesh, Kollegah, and Tiavo. Each collaboration underscores the artistic intent without diluting the group's identity, testifying to a precise positioning strategy within the local and international scene. The presence of Kollegah on "5ive Hoes" is not a surprise, as the duo had already been invited by the artist for his track "Es ist Rap" released in 2014. This album thus serves as a strategic consolidation, offering a fluid transition between the rigor of the D.N.A. years and the future explorations of the Outta This World label. This 2018 studio project is distinguished by its rigorous construction and its balance between introspection and collaborative openness. Between the release of the previous studio album FUKK GENETIKK (2016) and that of Y.A.L.A (2018), Genetikk delivers an opus that consolidates its position while preparing for future developments.
