Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Another certified "mixtape before the album", Glock in den Mund is mostly notable for being the first "full project collab" for Fler and his new best friend Godsilla, aka just Silla. But, when I say "full project collab", I mean 6 solo Fler songs, 3 solo Silla songs, two tracks with both and an intro. I would make a joke about this, but I feel it would be too easy, so, let's just talk about how they went about promoting their upcoming album Südberlin Maskulin. Unsurprisingly, you get both of them dropping their usual type of bragging on the usual overblown, ever more tired growing, synth-heavy Aggro production. That means Fler is on his recently tightened up shit-talking and Silla is a full brute with his lyricism. There is actually not much to talk about with this mixtape, as both of them are kinda just going through the motions, but there are some smaller highlights on here. Ghettostars is a surprisingly sweet track about solidarity, 110 is a scarily nuanced track about the German police system and the double punch of Song für meine Gegend and Die Stadt überhaupt are fun celebrations of their hometown. It does, however, also have Skit and Fler find ich geil, which are both absolutely abysmal in all the ways Fler is fluent in.
User Album Review
So, Glock in den Mund is mostly notable for really kicking off something that would take form a few years into the future. It established Fler and Silla as new best friends, showed their general chemistry on the few tracks that have both of them, announced their upcoming actual collab and made fans probably a little interested. Is it a great listen? No. Is it a terrible listen? Also no. Does this serve any purpose to anyone outside of hardcore fans of oldschool fans of Fler and Silla? Absolutely not. A sign of its time, a just decent enough tape to not get mad at, you don't need to listen to this.
