Fettes Brot, a German hip hop group, has been a staple in the nation's music scene since their formation in 1992. The band hails from Hamburg and consists of three members: Boris Lauterbach (known as König Boris), Martin Vandreier (alias Dokter Renz), and Björn Warns (a.k.a. Björn Beton). Their name, which literally translates to "Fat Bread," playfully undercuts the seriousness often associated with hip hop, presenting an approachable, whimsical front that is reflected in their music. Over the years, Fettes Brot has become known for their humorous and satirical lyrics that often engage with societal issues, which they blend with catchy hooks and a mix of hip hop beats, electronic sounds, and occasionally pop elements.

From their early days with hits like "Nordisch by Nature" and "Jein," to the more recent releases such as "Emanuela" and "Echo," Fettes Brot has consistently evolved while staying true to their distinctive style. Albums like "Am Wasser gebaut" and its Trockendock Edition showcase their versatility and continue to push the boundaries of the genre. With their lively stage presence and engaging live performances, such as those captured in "Gebäck in the Days - Live in Hamburg," Fettes Brot continues to be a force in the live music circuit. Their pensive and politically charged single "Du driftest nach rechts" shows their willingness to tackle contemporary social issues, while "LOVESTORY" and "Das letzte Lied auf der Welt" demonstrate their broad thematic range, cementing them as heavyweights in the German music industry.
