Fettes Brot
From Free net encyclopedia
Fettes Brot is a German hip hop group founded in 1992.
Fettes Brot is German for fat bread, where "fat" is a German slang term for "excellent" and "bread" is a northern German slang term for hashish. The group's longevity has meant that it is sometimes referred to as "Hamburg's hip-hop-dinosaur" by its members.

History
When the group Poets of Peeze disbanded in 1992, its members Doktor Renz (Martin Schrader, now Martin Vandreier) and Tobi Tobsen together with König (king) Boris (Boris Lauterbach), Schiffmeister (Björn Warns) and Mighty founded the band Fettes Brot. The Schmidt brothers (Tobi & Mighty) left the newly founded band early on, to pursue other projects, so the band released their first album, the EP Mitschnacker on Yo Mama Records as a trio. Prior to Mitschnacker the songs Schwarzbrot- Weißbrot (Blackbread - Whitebread) and Schule der Gewalt (School of Violence) appeared on the sampler, Endzeit 93, from the Independent record label Wilde Welt Records.
