Riding high off of late 2006's indie smashes, Hi-Tek's Hi-Teknology 2 and Jedi Mind Tricks Servants In Heaven, Kings In Hell, '07 kicks off with the high-end quality indie hip-hop fans have come to expect from the label.
   
The renowned German production team pairs up with indie hip-hop's finest for a debut featuring: Sean Price, O.C., Edo G., living Legends, Rasco, Chief Kamachi, Last Emperor, Jus Allah, El Da Sensei, Wise Intelligent, Reef The Lost Cauze, Doujah Raze, MED, Craig G., Celph Titled, Baby Blak, Pumpkinhead, Afu Ra, Wordsworth, Edi Amin, Breez Evahflowin, Majik Most, Kreators, Born Unique, Mitchell Hennessey, Virtuoso.

Since hip-hop and its cornerstone elements of breakdancing, graffiti,
MCing and DJing took root and quickly became renowned the world over, Det, the founder of Germany's production team Snowgoons, has been a mainstay in the international hip-hop scene.  Teaming up with renowned mixtape DJ Illegal in 1999 to form the basis of the Snowgoons production unit, the 'Goons have since recorded tracks with some of the US's and Europe's hottest up and coming hip-hop acts.  Throughout the years, the buzz surrounding the Snowgoons production team has steadily escalated as their gritty, authentic and eclectic beats have gained recognition in both the US as well as within the burgeoning European Hip-Hop scene.  Looking to expand their fast-growing empire, Det and DJ Illegal completed the squad with the 2006 addition of two more Goons: Torben and DJ Waxwork.

With four distinctive styles, The Snowgoons have earned a well-deserved reputation as one of today's most accomplished and versatile international production teams, evidenced in the breadth of their track record to date.  Having supplied aural ammo for some of today's most revered independent hip-hop acts, including Boot Camp Click's Sean Price, D.I.T.C.'s O.C., Jus Allah and J. Sands of The Lone Catalysts, just to name a few, the 'Goons colonization of the American rap scene has long been underway.

Now, amidst critical fanfare and a rapidly expanding US profile, The
Snowgoons unveil their debut masterpiece with the February 27th release of German Lugers.  The upcoming album features a veritable who's who of today's underground elite: Sean Price, Living Legends, Jus Allah, Chief Kamachi, Rasco, Wise Intelligent of Poor Righteous Teachers, O.C., Wordsworth, Reef The Lost Cauze, MED, Virtuoso, Last Emperor, Doujah Raze, Born Unique, Celph Titled, Majik Most, Edo G, J. Sands, Baby Blak, Craig G, Breez Evahflowin', Pumpkinhead of Brooklyn Academy & many more.

The album's lead-off single, "Never," features Reef the Lost Cauze on
what is already being regarded as a modern boom-bap classic.  An
original blend of high horns adorning a tightly syncopated beat,
"Never" draws parallels to the Arsonists while simultaneously paying
homage to DJ Babu's (Dilated Peoples) turntable stylings.  Meanwhile,
Reef the Lost Cauze (Jedi Mind Tricks affiliate and core member of
underground supergroup Army of the Pharaohs) delivers visceral battle rhymes touting (and clearly demonstrating) lyrical superiority. The result is authentically hard-hitting, head-bobbing, East-Coast
inflected braggadocio, with just the right intimation of the Goons'
distinctive European stylings.
