"Corona made us do it" - first new release by hip-hop duo since 7 years

Moved by the earth-shattering events of 2020, the international MC/Producer duo trans.formation (Essential I & Wunderflo) couldn't keep quiet anymore:

"We knew normal - the pre-covid normal everyone had grown accustomed to. We all know the old normal isn't going to work anymore. Now, populist demagogues and wannabe autocrats such as Trump try to sell you a "new normal". Beware of the agenda behind their "new normal", though. It's based on hate and in reality suppresses any real progress, such as the Black Lives Matter movement. Racism too is a deadly virus - one that is actually engineered by humans. Don't fall for it. Instead, build your own normal, your true normal, by getting in tune with nature, organizing and freeing yourself from societal norms. No, it's surely not a mask that restricts your freedom. It takes more effort and courage than risking the health of others if you want to change something in your life."

Fans of artists like OutKast, Mos Def, Anderson .Paak, Childish Gambino and the like will quickly feel at home here due to the conscious, experimental but also melodious and cinematic vibe of the track.

About Trans.formation:

Trans.formation is the international, conscious Hip-Hop producer/mc duo of Wunderflo & Essential I, founded in 2004. In 2014, they released their debut album meta.morphosis.

The name Trans.formation stands for transfer of information. A reference to the way the duo crafts their tracks entirely via online communication as Essential I & Wunderflo have never been in the same studio room, let alone in the same country together.

Their objective is to provide undiluted hip-hop with powerful messages as well as positive, fun vibes. All of this in an experimental and cutting edge way. If you are a fan of artists like OutKast, Mos Def, Anderson .Paak or Childish Gambino chances are you might enjoy the sound of trans.formation, too.
