Album lore

Mayomann & Backfischboy’s self-titled release arrived in July 2018 on the blumeblau label, a modest beacon in the German underground hip hop scene. Across 15 tracks, the duo navigates a terrain punctuated by boom bap rhythms and jazz rap inflections, foregrounding a distinctly deutschrap sensibility. The record’s modest footprint—just over 2,700 scrobbles on Last.fm—belies its attentive craftsmanship and local resonance.Tracks like “Selfiestick” stand out for their laid-back beats and colloquial lyricism, paired with lo-fi textures that evoke a basement session more than a polished studio. Titles such as “Dosenravioli” and “Hawaiihemd & Flip-Flops” hint at a playful, everyday perspective, lending the album a casual intimacy uncommon in the broader boom bap canon. This record serves as a quiet signal from Germany’s hip hop underground, a document for those attuned to vernacular rhythms and the art of subtle groove.
