Step One<br />
„Prepar<strong>in</strong>g' Ingredients“<br />
***<br />
I'am not say<strong>in</strong>g, my whole<br />
childhood was a disaster,<br />
but once we had a Christmas,<br />
sponsered by a<br />
welfare association.
This is not an ode to the worst qualities <strong>of</strong> the people, but that's the way it is<br />
when you look beh<strong>in</strong>d the facade. And yes, we all have experienced<br />
someth<strong>in</strong>g bad <strong>in</strong> our lives, but if you want to understand my music and my<br />
<strong>in</strong>tentions completely, the rough part <strong>of</strong> the story must be told.<br />
My alleged producer on the birth certificate kicked <strong>in</strong> the entrance door <strong>in</strong><br />
front <strong>of</strong> my eyes, I was like three year old that time.<br />
The door just missed me by a few <strong>in</strong>ches – that asshole wanted to get <strong>in</strong>to<br />
my mother's apartment without her permission. I was clearly more lucky than<br />
my mother that moment, because he was punch<strong>in</strong>g her teeth out right <strong>in</strong><br />
front <strong>of</strong> me.<br />
Fortunately, the story has not burned <strong>in</strong>to my bra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> such a way that it<br />
would have negative consequences, but it has shaped me a lot.<br />
I could never identify with my producer, who was addicted to gambl<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and wasted all the money <strong>in</strong> the cas<strong>in</strong>o, responsibility was not his strength.<br />
After 35 years <strong>of</strong> my life, my mother told me, "we would have to do a blood<br />
test."- because she was not sure if the person was really my genetic father.<br />
The statement did not really shock me,i am not even sure if I want<br />
to know the truth. The fact is, thanks to my mother, we have somehow<br />
made this and I have learned the most important lessons for my life from her.<br />
Just like many <strong>of</strong> us <strong>in</strong> such a situation, I have made the best out <strong>of</strong> the<br />
available: I did build houses <strong>in</strong> bushes, jump<strong>in</strong>g from the ro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> garages or<br />
walk around on unauthorized construction sides. Chestnut throw<strong>in</strong>g wars<br />
and BMX rid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
were my th<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
My grandparents were there, I remember them gladly,because they were<br />
responsible for the most beautiful moments <strong>in</strong> my childhood, whether it was<br />
a feast with them, or the simple chill<strong>in</strong>g, you know how it is at that age.<br />
With my grandparents, as a child, for me I always had the feel<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong><br />
splendor and wealth as seen <strong>in</strong> the furniture and other features.<br />
My grandfather is freelancer <strong>in</strong> the build<strong>in</strong>g clean<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dustry and he has<br />
always worked very hard to keep his company runn<strong>in</strong>g. I took that<br />
determ<strong>in</strong>ation from him.<br />
In young years I was able to earn some pocket money for clean<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
It was not easy,but there was no other chance back then.
My dear mother was s<strong>in</strong>gle parent for a long time with two children and a<br />
third child was on the way. There were a lot <strong>of</strong> th<strong>in</strong>gs I had to do for her as a<br />
little mucky pup. This women had to deal with the struggle all on her own.<br />
When I was like ten years old, my mother met a British soldier who was really<br />
serious about us – a young guy stays with a women who has two children<br />
and is pregnant,probably by another guy.<br />
We f<strong>in</strong>ally moved away from the "Paradise-Methadone-Onset-City-<br />
Disgust<strong>in</strong>g Lehrte". As a result,my life changed significantly and my<br />
childhood was different than the normal childhood <strong>of</strong> other kids <strong>in</strong><br />
Germany.<br />
We moved to various British occupation zones with<strong>in</strong> Germany, where the<br />
soldiers and their relatives lived. As a normal mortal you could not jo<strong>in</strong> such<br />
barracks. The so-called camps <strong>of</strong> the British armed forces are equipped like<br />
a small town.<br />
My stepfather than gave me a so-called ID card that allowed me mov<strong>in</strong>g<br />
on the base, it was a cool feel<strong>in</strong>g for such a little kid like me.<br />
Of course, I've also taken a lot punches, but I leave out all the stories on<br />
purpose, s<strong>in</strong>ce the mention alone is sufficient to understand that as a<br />
German without knowledge <strong>of</strong> the English language and <strong>in</strong> area where only<br />
families <strong>of</strong> British soldiers live. Especially as a child it is a bit difficult to f<strong>in</strong>d<br />
your way, when you are surrounded by constant challenges and pressure.<br />
As a German teenager among English kids, I had to listen to someth<strong>in</strong>g like<br />
"You Fuck<strong>in</strong>g Nazi ", or "Bloody Shithead " and when I use to play some<br />
football I mostly got a red card even before the match has started.<br />
At some po<strong>in</strong>t,however, I got the connection and met great people, and<br />
yes, most <strong>of</strong> them were English, which was also formative for my later<br />
identity.<br />
There were many parties, clubb<strong>in</strong>g nights and drugs, but who can go<br />
bad <strong>in</strong> his best years <strong>of</strong> life?<br />
Look<strong>in</strong>g back on that, a lot <strong>of</strong> movement have been part <strong>of</strong> my life (when<br />
the army says, "JUMP! ", only th<strong>in</strong>g you are ask<strong>in</strong>g is "Where?! ", or "How<br />
high?!").<br />
My stepfather got posted across Germany very <strong>of</strong>ten. As a result, I lived <strong>in</strong><br />
some places for just half a year, saw many schools and always was<br />
" the new guy "
Step Two<br />
„Cook<strong>in</strong>g' <strong>in</strong> the Pot <strong>of</strong> Life“<br />
***<br />
Thought that I could do it, all alone<br />
<strong>in</strong> Germany…<br />
At partys I could -<br />
thats true.
In the end, I stayed alone <strong>in</strong> Germany . My family moved to Cyprus and I just<br />
found a job as a cook here.<br />
Look<strong>in</strong>g back now my decision to make a career choice was very<br />
unconsidered, <strong>in</strong>fluenced more by the factors than the actual question,<br />
"What do I want to do <strong>in</strong> life". I did not pay attention at school anyway and<br />
my friends have always been more important to me – hang out and be<br />
cool, that was all for me then. I just barely graduated, which <strong>of</strong> course<br />
limited my options.<br />
I have tried myself <strong>in</strong> many th<strong>in</strong>gs whether it was civil eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g, cater<strong>in</strong>g<br />
or jobs at fairs. I had done my military service and I got a forklift license <strong>in</strong> the<br />
course <strong>of</strong> my work<strong>in</strong>g years but that did not really make feel like a human<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g – I need the feel<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> creat<strong>in</strong>g someth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> this world .Nevertheless, I<br />
worked my tits <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustry- my CV is three pages long. You know warm<br />
clothes and good food you always want to have.<br />
For half a year I was miss<strong>in</strong>g a degree <strong>in</strong> retra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g as an <strong>in</strong>dustrial<br />
mechanic, so I would have been a little less worried about the existence <strong>of</strong><br />
my family. Just as life always is, the bitch meets you with many annoy<strong>in</strong>g<br />
problems, on the neck without a warn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
At the time <strong>of</strong> my retra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, my love Katha was pregnant with our baby. She<br />
had heavy bleed<strong>in</strong>g dur<strong>in</strong>g the pregnancy and we both were very worried<br />
that we would lose our baby. That's why we decided to hospitalize and I just<br />
took care <strong>of</strong> her well be<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Due to the accumulated absences <strong>in</strong> which I was <strong>in</strong> the hospital <strong>in</strong>stead <strong>of</strong><br />
retra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, I was excluded from further education. I did not care, because<br />
the family always counts the most for me.<br />
The effort was worth it...<br />
My son was born healthy by Cesarean section.<br />
But as a new life saw the light,<br />
at a later moment another life ext<strong>in</strong>guished.<br />
Katha was very strong and very brave.<br />
She left us on 08/18/2017<br />
She died <strong>of</strong> f***<strong>in</strong>g cancer. This whole story fell like an <strong>in</strong>credible hammer<br />
with a blow right on my head – it was devastat<strong>in</strong>g, destructive, unfair and<br />
brutal.
This young, great, ambitious, friendly, helpful and humorous women leaves<br />
beh<strong>in</strong>d 2 beautiful, handsome, <strong>in</strong>telligent sons.<br />
The older son she had from the previous relationship, that I <strong>of</strong> course treated<br />
and loved him like my own .Funnily, we were surrounded by symbols <strong>of</strong> our<br />
emotional connection – the little one had his birthday on the same day as<br />
me.<br />
Besides, we had the same surnames…<br />
It was hard to realize that this apparent harmony could disappear so<br />
quickly.<br />
Of course, I had my extreme excesses, everyone mourns f<strong>in</strong>ally <strong>in</strong> his own<br />
way. After so may months on sleepless nights, a weight loss <strong>of</strong> 30 kilograms, I<br />
slowly got my existence back under control. I know that I will mourn her<br />
even further because a 26-year-old-young women, full <strong>of</strong> life and also a<br />
lov<strong>in</strong>g mother <strong>of</strong> two children, be<strong>in</strong>g torn from earth because <strong>of</strong> cancer <strong>in</strong><br />
our highly developed world with excellent medic<strong>in</strong>e is unfair but also the<br />
reality!<br />
REST IN PEACE,MY BABY,BABY,BABY….<br />
I've been unemployed for eight months and I've been gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />
unemployment benefits for five months now. A step <strong>in</strong>to the world <strong>of</strong> work<br />
where you're always required to be on alert and with a smile on your face is<br />
only possible with great effort,In my situation after my total isolation from the<br />
outside world it is k<strong>in</strong>d <strong>of</strong> hard for me to jo<strong>in</strong> up aga<strong>in</strong> . I did not get any<br />
support from the company at all. They did not care how a small world<br />
broke, my existence flew down to the ground <strong>in</strong> shards. I was just another<br />
staff number on paper.<br />
“I know what you mean, I'm divorced with my wife." - that's what I had to<br />
put myself <strong>in</strong> there, how dumb must you be to deny grief… Without words…<br />
Work<strong>in</strong>g only for the weekend and for the pension,which ranges just for a<br />
plastic bag from the shop to collect bottle deposits, these are the worries<br />
that they are really deal<strong>in</strong>g with.<br />
Fortunately, <strong>in</strong> my grief, I had a few people around me who were and still<br />
are an important support to me .It has brought me to my limits and only my<br />
child has led me out <strong>of</strong> the darkest thoughts. My son lives with his brother<br />
with the parents <strong>of</strong> Katha, they are do<strong>in</strong>g great, hopefully me soon as well.
Step Three<br />
„Serv<strong>in</strong>g' the Mouthwater<strong>in</strong>g Masterpiece“<br />
***<br />
Love and life give me <strong>in</strong>speration.<br />
The 18th <strong>of</strong> August<br />
will be forever holy to me.
After the mourn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> me got calmer and the vegetat<strong>in</strong>g under the<br />
<strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>of</strong> cannabis <strong>in</strong> my own home, it became unbearable.<br />
I found the long-forgotten, which has always been fun and enjoyable for<br />
me, the music <strong>of</strong> course.<br />
It hit me like a lightn<strong>in</strong>g strike fast, like a magic from the game that I played<br />
for dull<strong>in</strong>g my feel<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />
The effect has rema<strong>in</strong>ed but I do not longer play this game.<br />
Even if you attribute it to Lat<strong>in</strong> American, or African ethnicity, I also felt the<br />
groove and vibe <strong>of</strong> the music from an early age – danc<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> diapers was<br />
not a challenge for the little MC BruFFnesS and he rocks it every morn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
"Everyth<strong>in</strong>g AMAZING what my ears like"<br />
I also represent this philosophy today – whether rap,metal or soul.<br />
The message and the impact are crucial. That's why I've never limited myself<br />
to one genre <strong>of</strong> music and I see many opportunities to comb<strong>in</strong>e the nonmatch<strong>in</strong>g<br />
genres<br />
<strong>in</strong> their own way.<br />
I keep digg<strong>in</strong>g for lyrical nuggets <strong>in</strong> my artistic ve<strong>in</strong>. It may be that my works<br />
are not commercially mature because <strong>of</strong> all the circumstances but for that,<br />
they have the said message, which <strong>in</strong> my eyes, is much more value than the<br />
paper with portraits, or architecture works on it, which you get afterwards.<br />
The feel<strong>in</strong>g float<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> my heart that my music can make someth<strong>in</strong>g positive<br />
is a reward enough for me and yes you can call people who hear my music,<br />
fans.<br />
If your day goes wrong and you listen to a track by MC BruFFnesS, you may<br />
not hear beautiful l<strong>in</strong>es about wonderland but you'll f<strong>in</strong>d that the depth <strong>of</strong><br />
the abyss we fall <strong>in</strong>, only depends on our own imag<strong>in</strong>ation and perception.<br />
Maybe the knowledge helps to look at our own problems more relaxed<br />
and to meet them with a smile.<br />
How do you say that <strong>in</strong> Buddhism?<br />
If you can not solve a problem, stop consider<strong>in</strong>g it as a problem.<br />
If I'm lucky, I can leave someth<strong>in</strong>g for eternity and it would be a great<br />
feel<strong>in</strong>g if my son could say "My dad is a cool musician" at school. The ma<strong>in</strong><br />
th<strong>in</strong>g is that the children lack noth<strong>in</strong>g, we are not leav<strong>in</strong>g them the greatest<br />
earth <strong>in</strong> the moment.
Epilogue<br />
„Enjoy your Track!“<br />
When I wrote this here, the moon was turn<strong>in</strong>g coppery <strong>in</strong> color.<br />
In my m<strong>in</strong>d I was at my hometown Hanover.<br />
The 08/18/2018 is very holy to me now.<br />
Love and life give the <strong>in</strong>spiration I need .<br />
If you give me a pen and paper you will get texts and rhymes<br />
that would be enough for ten lives, because I'm<br />
MC BruFFnesS !!!<br />
World improver and fighter, let us work together to make the world<br />
a better one,<br />
at least for our <strong>of</strong>fspr<strong>in</strong>g !<br />
Peace!
