Seit frŸhester Jugend von Rappern wie Nas, Rakim oder Black Thought fasziniert, begann Astad bald eigene Raps zu schreiben. In der Muttersprache des Hip Hop fand er die Ausdrucksmšglichkeiten, die seinem energiegeladenen Flow zu gute kamen. 1999 lernte er seinen zukŸnftigen Partner Crada kennen, mit dem er die HipHop Band Sceptic grŸndete und 2002 das erstes Album "State of Mind" veršffentlichte. Im darauf folgenden Jahr entstand im Studio des Produzenten Scratch Dee die EP "Status Report", welche Sceptic nationale Aufmerksamkeit einbrachte. "Der korrekte, pure underground shit" (Juice) wurde auf AlbumlŠnge ausgebaut und 2004 erschien das Album "Soulmates" mit Features von Raptile und Ill Grill. Positive Reviews waren die Folge in denen von "true poetry" zu lesen war, welche Astad den Ruf eines innovativen, wortgewandten MCs einbrachten. Die Single "Hate you" schaffte es gar auf den Juice-Sampler. In der Folgezeit spielte Sceptic zahllose Konzerte, u. a. mit Kool Savas, Azad, Mellow Mark, Die Firma und Cappadonna. Als Astad und Crada jedoch 2005, kurz vor der Fertigstellung ihres nŠchsten Albums beschlossen, getrennte Wege zu gehen, war fŸr Astad schnell klar, sich von nun an auf ein Soloalbum zu konzentrieren. Trotz etlicher Probleme, die letztendlich auch auf "Sophomore Season" thematisiert werden, verlor er nie sein Ziel aus den Augen. Er schrieb weiterhin an neuen Songs, suchte den Kontakt zu anderen MCs und lernte 2008 den aufstrebenden Produzenten DJ Smoove kennen. Das Resultat dieser Zusammenarbeit liegt nun vor. "Sophomore Season" von Astad steht ab dem 1.Dezember 2009 zum Download bereit. Die CD wird exklusiv im Shop von rap.de erhŠltlich sein. Als erster Durstlšscher erscheint bereits am 2.November 2009 die Single "Thirst" feat. Promoe inkl. Remixes und nicht nur DJs wird es freuen, dass ebenfalls alle Instrumentals zur VerfŸgung stehen werden.
Astad with his debut soloalbum "Sophomore Season", including features by Promoe (Looptroop), Sabac Red (Non Phixion), Sarah Ann, N.A.T.O., B.A.G.I. and the Pairamount. The rough and monumental beats are produced by DJ Smoove, Scratch Dee, Snowgoons, Steve Ršsiger and Crada (who recently made his way to the US-Billboards with D-Block and Kid Cudi). Over that bombastic sound and with his typical, razorsharp rapstyle, Astad is showing his storytelling ability but also talks reality about politics and social issues to make "Sophomore Season" an unconventional, headbanger Hip Hop album. Since his early teenage days, Astad had been fascinated by Hip Hop and rappers such as Nas, Rakim and Black Thought. Soon, he began to write down his own lyrics, leaving no doubt that he wanted to use Hip Hop`s mother tongue and it`s variety of expression to underline his energetic flow. After meeting his future crewmember Crada in 1999, they founded the Hip Hop band Sceptic and released their first album "State of Mind" in 2002. One year later they aroused national attention for the first time, when they brought out their EP "Status Report", which emerged in the studio of producer Scratch Dee. "The accurate, pure underground shit" (Juice Mag) was enhanced and in 2004 Sceptic released their album "Soulmates", including features by Raptile and Ill Grill. Reviews were speaking of "true poetry", giving Astad credits for being an innovativ, eloquent MC. The single "Hate You" even appeared on the Compilation CD of Juice Magazine. During that time, Sceptic played many liveshows, among others together with Kool Savas, Mellow Mark, Azad, Die Firma and Cappadonna. In 2005, already having the next album in the pipeline, Astad and Crada however decided to strike different paths. Astad soon concentrated on making a solo album, and although he had to face a lot of problems, thematized on "Sophomore Season", he never lost focus. He kept on working, got in touch with other MCs and in 2008 met DJ Smoove, an ambitious younggun producer who became his primary beatmaker. Finally the work has paid off, the result is there: Astad`s "Sophomore Season" is available for Download from December 1st 2009. Available on CD exclusive and only at rap.de. And the first thirst quencher is already coming on November 2nd 2009: The Single "Thirst" feat. Promoe, including remixes and all Instrumentals. |
