Bio/Description :
Already with their first compilation on iD.EOLOGY, the Colonius Monk Collective set a refreshingly avangardistic counterpoint to nowadays' mainstream-rap-business. On the follow-up the Collective, consisting of the Broke Gringos Larsaction, Gringo Starr, Slomo, SEL and Lunte as well as Fleur Earth and the Broke Lovers Sextet, gathers with the producers Major, V.raeter, Til Schneider, Reechaad and Nanobastards to supply us with beats full of funk, jazz and soul plus some new insights into their perspective on things. Without backpacking but with truckloads of wit, irony and profoundness, they tell true as well as ficticious stories about the lives of unrecognised geniuses, casually binning popular cliches of an existence on the brink of society. While avoiding the use of the index-finger, they make some statements that'll raise your awareness for realities that rap usually replaces with egomaniac delusions of grandeur.
The result is original like the crossing of Axel-Springer- and Rudi-Dutschke-Street in Berlin, thoughtful like Sloterdijk after two glasses of red wine and real like freshly squeezed orange-juice - only that it tastes even a wee bit better.
