About TEXTA
TEXTA are without a doubt one of the big players in the Austrian hip hop scene. Since 1993 TEXTA can look back on 8 studio albums, a live album, various EPs and collabo albums, a book, a documentary, plays and 800 concerts around the globe. Due to the death of Huckey, the band’s end is suddenly in the offing in 2018, but to the delight of their many fans, the remaining TEXTA members go back into the studio together in 2020. The result is the album “More or Less” with lots of polished beats, cuts and scratches by DJ Dan and fat raps of the two grandmasters Laima & Flip.
