Background and singles[edit]

Vladislav Balovatsky (Capital Bra) started his career through Rap on Wednesday (Rap am Mittwoch), a German battle rap tournament. Following his win against Master Marv in February 2015, he departed from the tournament and started working on the album.[1][2] In December, he released his first single, not included on the album "Bra", and announced the album.[1] The album was announced in December of the same year, through the single "Bra macht die Uzi".[3] Three more singles have been released; including "Kuku Habibi", "Fluchtwagen glänzen" and "Kreide", all three alongside German rapper King Khalil.[4]
