Toony – It’s been more than a quarter century ago, in the Upper Silesian Heyde brackish-Cosel (Kedzierzyn-Kozle), a boy came into the world, who would soon take the name Toony in the German and Polish music scene a name. Only 2 1/2 years after his birth, wrestled his parents due to return to the socialist system and its limited opportunities in their home country, Poland’s back to her son and his older sister to Germany to emigrate in the hope of a better life It also reflects and can offer their children more than in Poland possible at that time was.
The first years in their new home Düsseldorf were made extremely difficult for all family members, especially learning the language, and the lack of friends and the Silesian very environment they create. Although the family made all efforts to assimilate into a new living environment, but the parents always put emphasis on that Toony was taught in their own four walls, the Polish way of life, to preserve the values and customs of his native culture upright.
The area where he grew up was still not exactly what one imagines to be the perfect environment to grow up sheltered. In the relatively robust in the residential area south of the city where drugs, violence and crime rule the streets, has Toony must quickly learn to succeed. He started with martial arts, was lift weights and played basketball with friends and football, to ventilate frustrations and aggressions. But all this could not prevent himself more with the time came with the law in conflict. It resulted in the fact that Toony ultimately flew out of school and was convicted of his best friends to 14 years in prison.He began to think about fundamental things and wonder how it really should go on … Ever since a while, he was interested in rap music, then tried it himself from time. Rap was the answer to his question!
Since he has always had a talent for music and speech, it was surprisingly easy to rap, so it did not take long before you even beyond the city limits of Düsseldorf also draw attention to his music. Time passed and Toony was better and more successful in the music business, so that he even contributed to the album “Alpha Gene” by Kollegah, one of the most celebrated hip-hop albums in 2008. But his ambitions were larger, and so he released the song anticipate “your strength” as video on the Internet, without the success and popularity of this song with his compatriots in Germany would be within a very short time. With the release, he met the spirit of the times and gave a whole generation of Poles living in Germany a voice.
With such a hype was also the long-awaited record deal not long in coming. Toony signed but not in any conventional record label, but in Poland’s largest independent hip hop label Prosto, which produces in the domestic market since more than a decade, a gold rapper after another. Together with his colleagues, the legänderen DJ Tomekk, Toony will release under the label said in March this year, appearing album “honor code”.It is noteworthy that the promising record includes not only German-language, but also Polish songs and is therefore equally releast in Germany and in Poland. This is probably the first European Toony bilingual rapper in terms of language functions across countries and stirring up on extremely high level in two countries on the scene.
The way for an extraordinary career that is paved, it will be interesting …

La Coka Nostra - is a breath of fresh air in these days of contrived airbrushed rap music. LCN isn’t trying to gloss shit up in the least. They like it crusty and gritty the way rap music should be. The collective’s debut record “A Brand You Can Trust” dropping July 14th proves just that. Somewhere along the lines, people forgot about groups like the mighty Wu-Tang Clan, Ultra Magnetics and Cypress Hill and the dirty raw esthetic these groups had but LA Coka sure didn’t. They embrace the darkness stench and all and aren’t afraid to be celebrate it.
