Electro Ghetto is the second studio album by German rapper Bushido. It released on 25 October 2004 by his newly founded record label ersguterjunge and Universal Music Group. This was the first record since he has left former label Aggro Berlin.
After the success of his debut album Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline Bushido left the label Aggro Berlin due to personal issues with the label's founders Specter, Spaiche and Halil Efe and signed to Universal Music, where he founded with fellow rapper D-Bo the label ersguterjunge. [3] Bremen rapper Baba Saad, who was 18 years old that time, has been discovered through the internet by D-Bo and Bushido, and invited him for the album's recording session, where he ended up being frequently featured on the album. Saad later signed to ersguterjunge and joined Bushido on his tour Auf die harte Tour as backup. [4]
Electro Ghetto was finished within eight weeks, according to Bushido himself was it his shortest album release. According to Baba Saad, it took 35 minutes for the song's development, including writing the lyrics and the production. [5] All the songs were recorded in the same studio in Berlin, with the guest artists, who were all important for Bushido, because they were personal friends of him. [6]
The guest vocals by singer Cassandra Steen on the single "Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt" was Bushido's personal wish, wherefore he asked her for a collaboration, and Steen agreed which surprised Bushido, who did not expect her answer. [7] Baba Saad is featured on three songs, called "Ersguterjunge", "Gangbang" (with fellow Berlin rapper Bass Sultan Hengzt) und "Wenn wir kommen". The song "Gangbang" was later indexed and removed from the album, due to the song's topic of penetrating a woman three-ways (oral, anal and vaginal).
In the third week of its release, the album debuted at number 6 on the German charts and stayed for 16 weeks in the top 100.
