Across a career spanning decades, visionary Deutschrap wordsmith Curse has mined his ideas and anxieties to craft a catalogue of inimitable introspection. He debuted in 2000 with Feuerwasser, which introduced Germany to his rhyme schemes and vividly dynamic lyricism. If hip-hop is “Soulmusic” then the rapper’s vast discography delves into our cerebral complexities. “Was Du Bist” is a fierce ode to self-determination while “Freiheit” dissembles the concept of liberty. Utilising a foundation of minimalist beats, Curse continues to impart his hard-won wisdom.
