but we are.

We settle for nothing but the best.

Our story
In the summer of 2019, Matti, Oliver and Loris graduated from high school together in a suburb of Berlin. The Berlin hip-hop culture shaped and inspired us. Nevertheless, we recognized many problems and potentials in the industry. Therefore, we decided to implement our own projects in the hip-hop industry.
Since we were able to bring in expertise from different industries, we quickly established new & innovative ideas in hip-hop.
At the beginning of 2020, our charts were launched. The charts were an unprecedented concept in hip-hop, where artists & producers were ranked using data and algorithms.
Shortly afterwards, our Beats/Kits platform appeared, offering aspiring producers & artists a way to sell or buy sounds.
In mid-2021, we published our first content formats with experts from the German hip-hop scene. At the end of the same year, we became part of the jury of the Hiphop.de Awards 2021.
