Snowgoons
Snowgoons is a German underground hip-hop collective founded in 1999 by the duo of DJ Illegal (Manuu Rückert) and Det (D. Keller). In 2008 they decided to add a third member, DJ Waxwork, though he parted ways with the group 2009. In 2011, producers Sicknature from Denmark and J.S. Kuster, who hails from their native German, joined the group and their very own record label Goon MuSick was founded.
Snowgoons are known for using orchestral and boom-bap samples and for working with American hip-hip artists, such as AOTP, Boot Camp Click and La Coka Nostra. They have also done several collaboration albums with artists like Reef the Lost Cauze, M.O.P., PMD and Sean Strange (as Goondox) and Onyx. The team cite DJ Premier, Alchemist and RZA as major influences.
