Dis Wo Ich Herkomm

About Dis Wo Ich Herkomm

Dis wo ich herkomm ("Dis where I come from") is the third solo album by Hamburg-based rapper Samy Deluxe. It was released on 27 March 2009 on the EMI label. The album contains many hip hop songs, but also had influences of pop and reggae elements. The lyrics primarily focus on Samy's relationship to Germany and caused a controversy due to its blatant call for more patriotism. Several media thus accused Samy of nationalism, though many others approved him for his courage to be honest. The song nonetheless attained the third place in German charts and inspired Deluxe's book Dis wo ich herkomm: Deutschland Deluxe that was published in June 2009. more »
