The rapper Megaloh brings the open-air stage at the Summer Meadow 2022 to tremble. He will be joined by Teuterekordz, Meezy and Caser Nova.
Megaloh on autotune, on beats with drill and Afrotrap influences, which contradicts the habits of the audience, but is a clear indication of the rapper's will to move forward and not stagnate. "The way is the goal" - This is a calendar saying that Megaloh has always hated. Until he realized that there will probably never be a point of absolute satisfaction. He had to admit to himself that a Top 10 album doesn't mean what he hoped it would. And that he was still stuck in a warehouse job while old companions became millionaires.
For all his self-reflection on responsibility, family and personal success, rap finally takes center stage again on "21." That, too, is only possible because Megaloh's new music is created less out of frustration and more out of desire. And the now 40-year-old continues to never tire of emphasizing that he's the goddamn best in this dirty game. "My disrespect is a fatherly slap," Megaloh says. He doesn't want to explain the world empathetically anymore - The music itself has to finally bang.
That's what the musical underpinnings are primarily designed for, too. Driving beats that go forward, no mere foundation for the content, but brute head-nodders. Conscious rap fans may then fret about autotune and impure rhymes as they wish. As soon as Megaloh can be seen live on stage again, the pressure of his voice and the bass will make the narrow-minded deepness claims look quite small. Surely Megaloh has not suddenly gained faith in humanity - But certainly the way to come clean with himself.
