*hinterhofjargon*, das debüt von celo & abdi, machte 2012 unmissverständlich klar: geht es um guten deutschen straßenrap mit viel wortwitz und exquisiten beats, dann gibt es kein vorbeikommen an den beiden frankfurtern. mit dem im frühjahr 2014 erscheinenden nachfolger haben celo & abdi noch einen draufgesetzt. das album hört auf den namen *akupunktur* - denn jeder track, jeder verse, jede line, jedes wort, ja, jede silbe ist wie der stich mit einer spitzen nadel, die eine reaktion beim hörer hervorruft. celo & abdis eigene sprache, ihr eigener humor und ihr geschmack für erstklassige beats machen -akupunktur- zu einem mehr als würdigen nachfolger. *akupunktur* erzählt direkt aus dem leben der beiden. celo & abdi nehmen den hörer mit in die sozialen brennpunkte, sie lassen einem am nachtleben auf den straßen frankfurts teilhaben - dabei rappen die beiden so bildlich und präzise, dass jeder der songs einem kleinen film gleicht. der sound des albums erinnert an das -mietwagentape-, jenem mixtape also, mit dem celo & abdi straßenrap aus ffm wieder auf die karte zurückbrachten. die beats kommen von haus- und hofproduzent m3, der wieder einmal ganze arbeit geleistet und sich selbst übertroffen hat. weitere produktionen haben die bounce brothas, abaz, bazzazian, reaf und farhot beigesteuert. die limitierte dopple-vinyl-edition erscheint jetzt im klappcover mit poster und cd.
