Background

Bushido and Sido are both successful rappers from Germany. The former friends had a fallout in 2004 when Bushido left their label Aggro Berlin as a result from a dispute with the owners and founders of the label. Afterwards both rappers insulted and dissed each other in public on numerous occasions. Early in 2011 they reconciled after an 8-year hip hop rivalry and began to work on the album.

Singles

Two singles were released: "So mach ich es" and "Erwachsen sein". The video for the first single was shot in Kiev and directed by Specter one of the former CEOs of Aggro Berlin. The second single features German singer Peter Maffay, who re-sung elements of his 1983 song "Nessaja" from the album Tabaluga oder die Reise zur Vernunft.

Chart performance and sales

Two days after the announcement on August 15, the album reached number one on the German Amazon music charts and hip-hop charts. The album debuted at #3 on the German Media Control Charts with first-week sales of 36,897 copies, #3 on the Austrian Charts, #1 on the Swiss Charts. Seven weeks after its release the album reached gold status in Austria for more than 10,000 units sold. In 2012 the album was certified gold for more than 100,000 units sold.
