Two gangster rappers as they spend the rest of the day.. Xatar hangs in a Berlin Hotel – President Suite is clear – on the sofa and eating grapes. “Whoa, let Wellness making,” says the 34-year-old. His Offenbacher colleague warrant responds: “I have to walk buck.”

gangster rap plays naturally with the image of evil – but how dangerous the two rappers are actually, on Friday (August 12) release their first album “The Holland job” as a duo coup?

“We are very dangerous, so it is also good that you have fear of us,” says Xatar and hiding behind his sunglasses. “We can fully disengage from one moment to the next and throw everything out the window.” Short break. “Of course that is not so. We are quite normal.”

Quite normal biographies of the two reading Although rather not. Xatar sat for an attack on a Gold transporter several years in prison. Warrant chose its name because the police were looking for him. However, the two have many explanations why some they consider dangerous. Number one: volume. “We are accustomed to at home to talk loudly,” says arrest warrant. “If a German is loud, then he’s pissed But we we just talk like that.?.”

Number two: Appearance. “Here in the home one looks like,” says Giwar Hajabi alias Xatar. He grew up in Bonn, but has Iranian, Kurdish roots. “As a botanist looks like I or most philistine But here -.. That you might know from movies – one thinks rather that we are angry because we look a bit bigger and striking, we foreigners..”

number three: “What’s more, our criminal past, the does not mean that we are monsters, “explains Xatar. Previously they were traveling on the road, which is a harder world. “And since you can not polite in some situations, or you will not survive. But more I say this not.”

The Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons indexed an older album Xatars and rated the content as “brutalizing ” on. In contrast, fans celebrate his songs and posting it on Facebook, for example, “allergeilstes Video wallah”. Warrant mention many of his followers affectionately just “Hafti”. Not only in Offenbach and Berlin-Neukölln. Rap often comes from below, from where people feel disconnected. And tells of other realities than those of the upper class.

“We are determined to address new issues,” says arrest warrant. “I do not jump on the train. But I’ll try to build my own train.” Arrest warrant has once made a song called “CopKKKilla”. Today, where fought in the US massively over police violence and shooting at police, a sensitive issue.

“I myself felt police violence firsthand. I’ve now looked no Hollywood movie and thought up the” , the 30-year-old says. “I wrote down what happened to me and what degree is going on in America, honest Also in Turkey -.. How police behave towards the people – that is für’n ass.”

arrest warrant and Xatar deal on the new album, although a lot of money ( “500, the number on my notes”), drugs, women and bling-bling. But the first song they have decoupled from the new album is political. “AFD” is a song in which the two working for refugees: “Refugees secure grandma just pension”

Why people choose the AFD.? “First, it is so that they take advantage of the failure of other parties. And secondly, it is populist,” says Xatar. That he is so little tear in the rap genre, he knows. Some fans did not respond as well to the song, if you will believe about posts on Facebook. “So what nobody wants to hear,” says Xatar. Made they have it anyway.
