Michael Kurth, 43 years old, is sitting in his old apartment in Berlin. He’s renting while some of his fellow rappers have bought big mansions, even though they haven’t written better songs or sold more records. Nobody knows him under the name “Herr Kurth”, his stage name is Curse. And Curse was already there silvermoon and Westernhagen on stage. His trademarks, the distinctive glasses and beard, are still there. Only the beard is now slightly gray.
