Bengal Tiger

Marteria—Marten Laciny, one of the more restless and interesting figures in German hip-hop—dropped a track called "Bengalische Tiger" and it hits exactly the way his stuff usually does: chest first, no preamble. The production breathes, the delivery sits somewhere between exhausted and ecstatic, and it stays with you after it stops.

I’ve been following him for years and he has this quality where the ambition never reads as strain—it reads as inevitability. Check his site for it. What a man.
