Julian Rogers aka Juju Rogers is a young Berlin based hiphop artist. Being the child of an American GI from New Orleans and a German mother with Austrian roots, Juju always got to know the best of both worlds through is parents. Born and raised bilingual in Schweinfurt, a small city in the south of Germany, he grew up with the problems, struggles as well as opportunities that both cultures presented to him.Though HipHop wasn't his first mingling with music, he was listening to his father's record collection and took trumpet lessons.

After three semesters at Bamberg University he decided to move to Berlin, where he met Figub Brazlevic and Teknical Development. Shortly after, they founded a hiphop band called Man Of Booom.With Juju Rogers releasing his debut album "From The Life Of A Good For Nothing" things are coming full circle.

Juju Rogers is a dedicated observer of his surroundings and manages to condense those observations into meaningful powerful songs.His debut album "From The Life Of A Good For Nothing" will drop on the 3rd of July.

LP+DVDOriginally released as a Record Store Day exclusive (and often fetching L50 a pop), Gil Scott Heron recorded these raw, stripped-back versions from his classics during the years he wrote I'm New Here. There's a delicate, fragile nature to his voice that's usually backed up with much broader, fuller instrumentation. Bringing his stories and emotions to the fore, it's one of the most touching documents he's ever done. Complete with a DVD documentary and unseen footage, this is an incredible insight into one of soul's most pained and complex characters.
