Rap and Udo Lindenberg? How does that fit together? The panic rocker and the rapper Apache 207 want to show that it fits very well. The two music stars recorded a song together.

Panic rocker meets German rapper: Udo Lindenberg (76) and Apache 207 (25, “Roller”) recorded a song together for the first time – “Komet” is the name of the song.

“Our comet is a song about immortality, about the footprint we leave behind,” said Lindenberg, according to a statement from Warner Music, which continued about the song: “Memorable guitar sound, which occasionally hints at a solo, forms the cloak around the dance feeling.”

Lindenberg said he visited Apache 207 at a concert and was thrilled. “Apache caught my eye right away, because it’s very different from normal gangsta rap. Cool, clever boy, very flashed lyrics, trademark voice – and he also sings meeega-smoothly.”

The Mannheim-born Apache 207 became famous with his hit “Roller” in 2019. His first record “Treppenhaus” made it to number one in the charts. Millions of his songs are streamed online. Musically, Apache 207 plays with different genres and moves somewhere between rap, R&B, pop, disco and zeitgeist.

A legend, a role model

According to the announcement, Apache 207 itself describes the cooperation as “acclaimed”. “Udo Lindenberg is undoubtedly a legend of German music and a great role model for me – especially when it comes to his incredible career.”

After mutual visits, the men put their heads together and wrote “Komet”. “We quickly realized – the voices fit a thousand people. And then the song just came to us,” remembered Lindenberg. With the song, the two music stars also want to make a statement about the connections between two generations and musical styles.

The collaboration had been enthusiastically awaited on social networks after the two artists had posted photos from and in front of the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg this week with advance notices of something “very special”.
