Amenofils is a 27 year old rap musician from the Mozart city of Salzburg. Born the son of a French mother and an Austrian father, he chose at the age of 15 to write French lyrics. Initially, the motivation was the connection to his roots, but after a few recordings and releases he stuck with it.
After his 2006 released EP Caligram it was time that he brings his first solo album on the market. The LP is called "La prophétie de Samarra" and is the first French-speaking rap album of Salzburg. On this album are also a variety of Austrian underground hip hop sizes, including Bauxl, RAPTOAR, Def Ill, Demolux, Thaiman, Scheibsta, Kartal, to name a few, represented. The album was produced by the aforementioned Kartal, Mansoul and Amenofils itself.
Musically, the DNK Member moves between classic Boom Bap, and French rap à la IAM and La Cliqua.
Rhyming the Frenchman puts on many double rhymes, and a metrically accurate flow. Starting with the cover to the lyrics of the LP, the album is wrapped in an Oriental mysticism. Rapstyles are mainly battle, and storytelling tracks, represented on the LP.
The release of "La prophétie de Samarra" was set at the end of September.
