With Turbo Charged Up, the trio Zur Schönen Aussicht brings experimental music to the centre of society. For their fifth album, they have gathered nine international, diamond, partly legendary rappers who beam their beats into a new, futuristic dimension:

German rapper KÄPTN PENG, US rap legend of the L.A. Freestyle Fellowship crew MYKA 9, bioluminescent alien rapper IXA PSYBORG from Philadelphia/Berlin, L.A. Alpha Pup artist and producer SUBTITLE, Berlin's boundary-pushing multi-instrumentalist and vocal artist KID BE KID, Le Peuple De L'Herbe rapper ODDATEEE from New York/Lyon, genre-transcending storyteller SERA KALO from Connecticut/Berlin, Birmingham's virtuoso jazz saxophonist and rapper SOWETO KINCH, and Berlin's hyperenergetic singer and rapper ZOOEY AGRO.

Individually and always in a masterful way, the rappers find their way to flow over the unconventional beats and have different messages to proclaim: about empowerment of people of colour, about police violence, about consumerism, about the inactivity of local politicians in the climate crisis, about overtaking in the fast lane, about miracles or about rap life. Sometimes poetic, sometimes with healthy anger, sometimes philosophical, sometimes straight forward in your face.

The three jazz musicians, beats and rap lovers Jo Wespel aka Beatdenker (guitar, composition, producing, mixing, mastering), Paul Berberich (saxophone) and Flo Lauer (drums) went one step further after the production and brought Myka 9 from Los Angeles to Germany for a tour together with Sera Kalo and saw what happens live when postcontemporary, improvisational beat music meets the most innovative, virtuoso rap: exchange at the highest level and something really new. Exactly, future music of the third millennium!
