I want my music to speak with dignity

About Me

In October 17th 2005 the Frankfurt musician CHIMA released his album Im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten (The realm of possibilities)To most music lovers in Germany, Chima is already on the map. In 2002 he released his long expected debut album Reine Glaubenssache (It´s a question of belief), which he presented throughout Germany as a supporting-artist for both Herbie Hancock and Saul Williams. Even before this he has been active for years within the hip-hop scene and earned himself a household name as part of the rap group Otropic T(h)ree. After his successful single Lass los (Let go) Chima performed with the collaboration project Brothers Keepers and their Top 4 single Adriano (in memory of the racist murder of the Afro German Adriano). Brothers Keepers performed all over Germany. All this was yesterday!Within the new realm of possibilities, which the 32-year old has created for himself, Chima proves that he does not consider it a limitation but rather a chance to create something new, as he sings in his inviting song Haus und Heimat (Home and Homeland). Blazing that the seasoned rapper can perform long terms only with his vocals, which he lays over wonderfully warm and lively groovy music, as this record shows. This does not mean that he has turned his back on rap. Yet it is just a natural development that gives him the chance to present his complex, truly positive, sanguine and beautiful lyrics in rhythmic and melodic tunes.the rebirth of cool "halt dich an mich"
