“Leseliste” is the fourth album of the exceptional artist Misanthrop. One of Germany’s most underrated exceptional artist merging poetry, clever lyrics, a songwriter attitude and Hip Hop. It seems to me that Misanthrop decided to life his life without sleeping, because the third album “Die Sieben Weltwunder” was released just four months ago.
Before we talk about his newest brilliant release you should know that Misanthrop isn’t just one of these German Hip-Hop artists who tries to copy the past and the now in German Hip-Hop. This artist creates his own style and attitude without caring about the rest, a brave artist who keeps faith in his work… and words.
Its not just the music that counts, it’s the whole thing that must be taken to the peak. The ingredients word and word are put together to perfect team. The whole thing counts in the end… not just the goal creating one hit and ten songs.
With “Leseliste” Misanthrop created a brilliant fusion of intelligence and accessible outstanding songs – yes you’ve heard right: songs! Eleven songs each named after a books title. The sounds of “Leseliste” is sharper than its forerunner, experimental sounds meet Hip-Hop. Carefully selected samples score under the meaning of the lyrics.
The lyrics of the album are fascinating – deep meanings crossed with play on words! You must open your ears, brain and heart to let the message in… A firework of intelligent lyrics and experimental Hip-Hop. But don’t be misled, this music isn’t made for the intellectual discussion round, besides its intelligent lyrics we are still talking about Hip-Hop!

This album got it to become German Hip-Hop album of the year! 100% approvable – a must have!
