KITSCHKRIEG on the sounds of GERMAN ENGINEERING ZWEI (Bonus)

The New Exchange with Ken Grand-Pierre

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: three friends in Germany get together to essentially create their own world. The focal point is their aim to celebrate and progress hip-hop, along with integrating fashion, filmmaking, and photography in a way that has a unique impact. No, you’re not having a fever dream, this is indeed real and it’s the story of KITSCHKRIEG, a trio of German creatives who have their sights firmly set on the wider world. That word ‘unique’ feels constant when it comes to their prolific output, and yet to hear Fizzle and Fuji Kris discuss it; KITSCHKRIEG has simply become a way of life.

I was keen to have them on the podcast way back in season six and it’s a massive privilege getting to have them on now. Across our chat we explore the three pillars that led them to where they are today: 1) Building a world around their music, 2) Branching out of their comfort zones, and 3) The vitality of their phrase ‘LAPTOP-LAPTOP-LENS. Welcome to the world of KITSCHKRIEG.

They will be dropping their next body of work, German Engineering ZWEI on November 15th. The lead single is a belter called Slow Down featuring Future, Mariah the Scientist and Fridayy.
