A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

- Yo, Jinn, you ready? - Sure.

It's about to start. Have you seen who's here?

Skee, first the money, then the show. Simple as that.

Listen, dude, I never pay in advance. You get the money afterwards, period.

You said that last time. And how long did I wait?

Jinn, have I ever not paid you?

We want the cash now, not at Christmas, got it?

Chill, dude. What's the problem?

You said we'd get paid upfront, now this shit again!

Fuck it, I can give you the money.

- How often have you done RAP UP? - Way too often!

Listen, you know who just walked in? Semir's here!

- Skyline Semir? - Skyline Semir!

- It's time. You ready? - Of course we're ready.

Yeah, we're ready when Skee finally forks over the dough, dog!

- Change of plans. Dadon opens, you're out. - What?

- What? Skee! - If he doesn't want to...

Yo, Skee! Stick your shitty RAP UP up your fat ass!

Dude, don't you get it? Semir is out there!

I don't give a shit if it's Tupac!

- I won't be fucked over! - Are you serious?

I hate rappers.

Dude, what the hell...

This is fucked up, man.

Have you got cash?

- You'll get it back tomorrow. - I can't do that to Skee.

You'll save his show!

Thanks, man.

Y'all feelin' good?

Then make some noise for DJ Raz!

Y'all hyped for some hip hop tonight?

- Are you hyped? Are you hyped? - Yo, Momo!

Are you ready to party tonight?

Show me your hand.

- From Skee. - As if.

- Yeah. - Where's the rest?

Up your ass, man.

That'll look like nothing once we make it big.

- Don't exaggerate. - "Exaggerate"? You for real?

- We've got Dadon in the house tonight! - One last RAP UP.

And then we gotta get to the top!

- We've got Araf here! - We're too good for this shit.

And Grinder!

Remember what we vowed to do, bro? Do you remember?

Let's set this place on fire!

Yeah, dog! Yeah!

Now, next up to "rap up,"

with us for the first time...

for the fourth time, and hungry as ever.

Make some noise for Jinn & Tonik!

Give me an "Oh, yeah!"

Oh, yeah!

Yo, 6'4", I'm in the cypher stylin' free

Black as a KitKat But no one's gonna break me

On the beatbox, get mad props

G-Shock fools act up while Jinn makes that beat drop

Brother, hipster, or real emcee

I've got a rap recipe that's mad tasty

On my laptop, rhyming, playing Black Ops

Yeah, the black boy delivers some headshots

I'm the chef cooking rhymes Shoot my lines at full speed

Thanks to you My mom says that I smell like weed

But fuck it, 'cause I burn it down again

This is my new fragrance Ca-Ca... "Cannabis for Men"

Give me a "Jinn-Tonik!", "Jinn-Tonik!" Give me a...

Jinn-Tonik! Jinn-Tonik!

Give me a "Jinn-Tonik!", "Jinn-Tonik!"

- Give me a... - Jinn-Tonik! Jinn-Tonik!

- Jinn-Tonik! Jinn-Tonik! - Yeah!

- Yes? - Hi, honey. You still at work?

Um... Yeah, sure am. Is it important?

Did you get groceries?

- Yes, of course. - Good.

She skipped breakfast again today.

- She says we had no white bread. - Waited long?

Lately, everything else is...

Too bad we only meet in your car.

What?

We can meet in yours if you prefer.

I meant to say it would be nice

to meet in a more pleasant setting for a change.

Come on, Thorsten. Let's get this over with.

Yes.

This time

with a time code and chapters for every transaction.

There hasn't been a re-up since last week,

but that is certain to happen tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., prime time.

Okay. Leave the analysis to us, thank you.

- Bye, then. - I look forward to next time.

Bye.

That's not healthy, young lady.

Whatever works.

21.50 euros, please.

Thanks.

Do you speak Farsi?

- A little. - Take care of yourself.

Bye.

Hey, bro.

Should we say hello?

Whatever, bro. Fuck it. The show was special.

If he didn't get it, his loss. Know what I mean?

- Yeah. - Plus, those two want to go for a drink.

- Then to a club. You know what that means. - Nah.

- I'm on night shift tonight. - So what? No one will notice if you ditch.

Come on, man!

Okay, listen.

I let you have the sister.

- Have fun, Momo. I'm out. - Okay, your call.

- I'll leave this with you, all right? - Yeah.

And, bro, the show was nice.

Real nice.

Okay.

Man, stop grabbing my...

You're the DJ, right?

Yeah.

Come.

What up, Jinn? You good?

Did you play those beats live?

- Of course. - "Of course."

- MPC? - Maschine.

You did that Kalifa Remix Tape too, right?

Yeah, I know, but I wrote you guys and no one answered me, so...

All good, bro. I like it.

"808s and broken jaws," eh?

The oldschool synths are the shit. Who else do you make beats for?

Just Tonik.

Monogamous relationship style, huh?

Listen, come to our office tomorrow afternoon, all right?

- With Tonik, right? - No. No Tonik.

Just you and your Maschine.

All right? See you tomorrow.

I'm so sick of this shit.

What were you doing here?

I met with a CI.

For the Kelmendi case?

No, something else.

Doesn't matter.

Something else...

Hm. Shouldn't you be on vacation? Studying for the exam?

Yeah.

Are you interrogating me or eating your sandwich?

I always wonder who buys this shit.

It's for Riana. I'm glad if she eats anything.

- Why didn't you say that before? - Chill. I have a bag full of the stuff.

The third victim has been identified.

Lana Aliu, born '83, Albanian citizen.

Divorced, mother of two, no prior offenses.

Be right there.

Last time the Albanians clashed with the bikers bullets flew.

But a hand grenade? That's pretty fucked.

- Those weren't bikers. - Why not?

There were two of them, on a small bike.

- You saw them? - Yeah, from the corner.

Right, from the corner?

Now I'm interrogating you.

Yes?

Okay, talk. Semir is here. I'll pass it on.

Okay, son. Okay. Hang up.

What's up, Cengiz?

Ardan is back.

Does Kadir know?

I don't know, bro.

Hey!

Hey, you!

Are you serious?

Go set it up!

What the hell are you thinking?

KALIFA - "ON PRINCIPLE" [PROD. MATTEO]

SUBJECT: "TURN UP!!" NIGHT SHIFT, BIG HUG, J

Hey, you're already up?

- Are you serious? No, go away. Ew! - Good morning.

- Get your jizzy hands off me! - Good morning.

- Go shower! - Nice to see you.

- Who's the guy? - Friend of mine.

What does it take to be a friend of yours?

A nice chat and a glass of wine, why?

I'm living this shit, man I've seen too much.

Now you wanna tell me 'bout life and such?

- You know this? - For sure, bro!

Kalifa, dog!

So funny.

- When will you guys make such a video? - We have.

I mean like that.

You know, you and Momo in fancy cars, with bitches and guns, like...

Boom! Bam, bam, bam!

- Jinny, it's funny to picture it. - What's funny about it?

Well, I might buy it with Momo, but not you.

Why not?

- You ain't no gangsta, bro. - Ain't no gangsta?

- What's your problem, ho? - "Ho"?

- Yeah, ho. Show some respect. - Who you calling a ho, you loser?

Excuse me. Do you have a towel?

Who are you anyway, you bitch? Get the fuck out of my place!

- Did you touch my sister? - Your place, huh?

Your place? Pay some rent first, buddy boy.

Go take a shower, you smell like...

Everyone knows that.

Oh, awesome!

Hold on a sec.

- You are? - Jinn.

Semir told me to stop by today.

I'll call you back in a second, all right?

Bye-bye.

What's your name again?

- J-I-N-N. Jinn. - Are you a rapper?

No, producer.

Sorry, can't find you here.

I'll go check, okay? Sit down and chill.

Yo!

- What's up? - I have a "Jinn" sitting here.

- Who? - Jinn.

Oh, right. Tell him to wait. Or show him around.

But it'll take a while. It's up to him.

Okay, got it.

What's up?

Nothing.

Don't drive yourself crazy, bro. Wait and see what happens.

Tonight, we celebrate.

Then we wrap up the Global deal, and then...

Business is done upstairs, music down here in the basement.

Kalifa insists on keeping art and commerce separate.

- How's things, boss? - Nothing better to do than hang out here?

Yeah, but Wolf kicked us out.

This is the big studio.

The "blue pill," as Wolf calls it. They're working on Aziz' new album.

Hey, Peter! Markus!

The window's already clean.

What are looking at? It's all top secret.

Don't lose your way, brother. There are lots of doors here.

Come on.

This is the "red pill," the small studio, where Kalifa records.

Come in.

Hold on. Flo, give me one second, okay?

Help yourself, okay?

No drugs, no smoking. Other than that, Semir will be here soon.

Would you like some more sauce? Here you go.

By the way, your talk was very inspiring.

I totally agree that blockchain will revolutionize the stock market.

I'm in the business.

We're currently developing a blockchain platform that...

Bon app�tit.

Bon app�tit.

Mr. Kroos, take a break here and go set up the boardroom, okay?

I thought I wasn't to leave the buffet.

Don't think. Just set up the boardroom, okay?

That's nice.

Mr. Dietz, the room will be ready for you immediately.

That's wonderful to hear.

Perfect, thank you.

When the banks move their business to Frankfurt...

...their employees will need housing.

The ad hoc report goes out next Tuesday.

I'd advise you to make a move by next week.

In return, I'd appreciate it if you invested in GALLUS TOP.

Yes?

Sorry, I'm not really awake yet.

What's up?

How are you?

Come on, Dagi.

Just say what's what.

Which CIs are currently active in the Kelmendi case?

None who are useful. Why?

We have to take Kelmendi down. The case is hot.

Oh, so now it's hot?

Yes.

You promised me the hotel thing would be my last assignment.

That was before a hand grenade landed in an Albanian hotspot.

The city can't afford bad press if it wants to benefit from the Brexit fallout.

We have to take down one side, and we're only sure about the Albanians.

I want you to accompany Hocki today and take a closer look at Dejan Pandev.

- Pandev is Bosnian, not Albanian. - Who cares? He gets his stuff from them.

If you think we can work with him,

I'll call the DA and you'll have free reign.

For two years I've been bouncing from one CI to the next

and have gathered enough intel to get Kelmendi booked,

but nothing at all happens.

Now a hand grenade goes off and suddenly there's a huge rush?

The sooner we get results, the sooner you can start your exam vacation.

And I'll give you a glowing recommendation to boot.

Agreed?

Mean, mean drums.

- Brother, that was sick! - Badass beat, dude.

Damn, where did they dig you up?

- Wonder boy! - Nasty, dog!

- Thanks. Appreciate it. - You tore it up, man.

- Thanks. - Let's move the party upstairs.

We're off.

- I wanna smoke weed. - Let's roll a joint, brother.

It's your turn, bro!

Sit down.

How's it going, Jinn? You good?

- Yeah, thanks. Sorry that I just... - It's fine.

Why do you call yourself "Jinn"?

Sounds cooler than "Johannes," I guess.

And I like the drink.

You know what a "Jinn" is in Islam, Johannes?

Some kind of spirit, no?

Sort of.

A demon. With a thousand faces.

Listen up, Jinn.

You got skills no one can fuck with, brother.

You hear me?

Listen, Jinn, here's the deal.

If you're trying to live off of your music as a producer,

you can have a few good years.

If all goes well, you might make some real good money.

But if you wait too long, that window gets smaller.

And eventually it'll be gone. You know what I'm saying?

Don't waste your time and talent.

You work with the wrong people.

You need people who can help you reach the next level, you understand?

Listen here.

The city plans to erect 50 so-called "mini houses" in Frankfurt by 2020.

100 euros rent for a place that is 70 square feet.

Kitchen, bathroom, bed, table, armchair. The whole package. For refugees.

May as well let some more in. We'd have plenty of room then.

All right. Time to move.

You watching Champions League tomorrow?

Sure, bro.

- Got a nice little sum on it. - What did you bet?

Combination bet. Bayern, Man City.

- Bayern I get, but Manchester? Dude! - Wait and see.

- Can I help you? - Good day.

You can't just...

Sorry, we need to have a look around.

- Do you have a... - I don't need one.

You want me to look inside, Mr. Kampshoff? Or shall we have a chat first?

Let's have a chat.

Can we talk in private?

Next door.

I hear you like to bet.

Me too.

I bet there's enough narcotics in here

to get you a couple of years in Butzbach pen.

And I bet your pal next door

is telling my colleague who he got it from.

To save his little ass.

No!

Your odds are...

So.

Your odds are really shitty.

But I'll give you a tip.

Article 31. You help us, we'll help you.

It's worth it, trust me.

I remember exactly when that kid first came in here.

Haircut, beard, clothes, damn, I thought I was looking in a mirror.

Then Semir had this crazy idea of letting him on the mic.

He was right, huh?

- Semir is always right. - Semir is always right.

That's what's up.

Back-to-back gold records. I'm proud of you.

I'm going over to the boys.

- What's up? - What's going on?

It's fresh!

MOMO "TURN UP!!" AWESOME BEAT, BRO!

Hey!

Wonder boy! How's it going, you having fun?

- Yeah. - Hey, do you know Celo and Abdi?

- Well, not personally, but yeah... - Then come with me.

Come on.

Yes, that's him. Close your mouth. When Kalifa calls, they all come.

Yo! Hey.

This is the kid I was telling you about. Jinn. He's amazing.

Hey Jim, how's it going? Good?

- Yeah. - You ready for this life?

Hey.

What's up, my friend. All good?

- Hi, I'm Celine. - Our CEO.

Oh! I thought Semir was the CEO here.

No, brother, Semir is vice prez.

She's the consigliere. I deal with numbers. The exciting stuff.

She keeps the wheels turning.

Mina's been raving about you all day.

All justified. You've got to get up there and show them what you've got.

Just let the kid enjoy the party.

I heard you make beats, brother. Come to 385id�al. It's the best label!

It's nice you're here, Jinn. Hey, babe.

Whoa, Manu!

How dope, bro! Let's record it tomorrow.

Damn!

What are you up to now? I'm almost done here. Want to chill?

I sent something over to you.

- I got it. - And?

I'm not sure. What do you think?

I think it's really awesome.

- Okay. - "Okay."

Like your brother, never satisfied.

What's that?

"Greener Pastures."

Man, I want some too!

- Can you export it again? - I can make corrections...

Just send me the project file.

- What are you two doing later? - Chilling. By the river.

- Cool. - Yep.

- Thanks, Momo. - Wait till you see the bill.

Verial Real Estate, this is Liliane Dietz, project management.

Tonik, you know when I rap

I keep it fresh

Fuck you up with text

Oh my God, she feels my crazy vibe Yo, baby, your jacket is so ladylike

Your bag is not so fly I got crazy vibes, hey!

That beat is lit, man!

Seriously, it's... Something different.

Mad in your face, but not overloaded.

A whole album in that style and we're killing it!

We're killing it! Killing it!

Just like you said: one more RAP UP and then we go to the top!

What's that thing?

- Nothing. Give it back. - Chill.

- Give it here. - Dude.

Skyline, dog?

- Where'd you get it? - Don't know. Found it.

Where do you find that?

Some party, whatever.

Not bad. But we'll make our own merch.

Jinn-Tonik cups. What's good.

Huh, what's good? Jinn-Tonik cups!

Our merch!

Yo, this is Tonik! Tonik! I just can't stop!

Freestyle a cappella You know I'm the boss

Jinn at my side They drink from our cups...

Streaming has changed how the market works.

It's not about selling an album or a single anymore.

All that matters is how often the song is streamed.

Which is why we need hits people want to hear over and over.

Yeah, sure.

But hits come and go.

The trick is to get people hooked on your artists.

For that you need big personality talent who can deliver consistently

and give the fans what they're looking for, a friend.

- Like in a brothel. - More like with drugs.

If a random dealer keeps his quality on point

and establishes a personal relationship with his customer, what happens?

- Tell me. - That customer keeps coming back.

Yeah.

If the dealer can always deliver. If not, the customer buys elsewhere.

If you want to grow without changing strategy

you'll need the capacities of a major label.

We profit from your market savvy and your lineup.

You profit from our distribution power.

A classic win-win situation.

Skyline Records still acts as an indie label, but under our aegis.

And as "President of Rap" at Global Music

you'd have influence beyond your own artists...

And final say

on all operational and creative decisions at Skyline Records.

That's a point of contention.

- Our board needs to warm up to... - Fuck the board!

The board still needs to warm up to the idea that a guy

they only know through the media as a gangster rapper

can be a reliable business partner.

They don't want the cops at every concert, like it used to be with you guys.

But don't worry, I'll square that away.

- What the fuck are you doing? - Excuse me?

I gave you the videos so you could arrest Kampshoff.

- Why is that dick still free? - What we do with intel is our business.

Maybe I should give it to a cop who takes their job seriously.

Is that what you wanted to talk about? Because I don't have time for it.

Luxury apartments, in Frankfurt-Gallus, perfectly connected...

What's with their faces?

After Effects. Just watch!

...their employees will need housing.

The ad hoc report goes out next Tuesday.

I'd advise you to make a move by next week.

In return, I'd appreciate it if you invested in GALLUS TOP.

Insider trading!

- Big Time! Yeah? - Who are they?

Okay.

I need names and a clean version of the video.

Then I'll pass it on. Once I know its value, I'll let you know.

- 30K. - What?

30,000 euros. This time upfront.

Are you kidding me? You think you're at a bazaar?

Think you can negotiate with me? Do I look like that?

- What are you doing? - Fuck off! Out!

- No! - Out! Shut the fucking door!

Fucking cunt!

- What's wrong? - Everything's shitty.

What? The pitch?

Everything.

Give yourself a break, Lily. It's just a government agency.

Some stuffy office. You'll do fine.

You're smarter than all of them combined.

Should I take a look?

- Okay, then send me the newest version. - I have, Dad.

GREENER PASTURES VEGETARIAN & INNOVATIVE

It's great.

Perfectly designed, looks great.

- What are you worried about? - Do you mean it?

Of course I do.

Only the name sucks, "Greener Pastures." Who can even pronounce that?

What's hard about "Greener Pastures"?

Sounds like pastries.

- Just trust me, I got this. - Sure you do.

Verial Real Estate. Tirelli speaking, how may I help you?

Good evening, this is Mr. Kampshoff from the Hessen Grand.

Sorry to call at this hour.

But may I speak with Raimund Dietz?

Mr. Dietz has left. I'm sorry.

I could schedule an appointment on Wednesday at 11 a.m.

Wednesday, 11 a.m. would be fantastic.

Let's do that. Thank you very much.

This is quite a place.

All that's missing is a pool.

There's one on the roof.

It's closed in winter.

You remember that pond in Pirozan?

You couldn't even swim then.

But you always wanted to get in up to your knees.

That old cripple would set his dog on us every time.

That son of a bitch.

Remember? I'd grab you.

- And then we ran. - We ran for our lives.

Every time.

Uncle eventually shot that cripple dead.

How are Aunt Hatice and everyone?

How do you think they are?

Is the camel still there?

Look at that.

Suddenly he remembers, huh?

Why didn't you ever contact me?

16 years, nothing but rumors.

People said you were in jail. Or fighting in the war, this and that.

Do you need money?

I don't want your money, Kadir.

I just want to be closer to my little brother.

- Boss! - Hey, sonny. How's it going?

- You good? - I am now.

You sure? I already told Semir:

If the beats aren't banging, I can't make any promises about the sampler.

But I don't want to pressure you. Let's hear what you got.

Next.

Do you have something that packs a punch?

Something hard.

Dude!

These are soft. Where are the grenades you mentioned?

These aren't even warning shots.

Jinn, Tonik

Hey, this is Jinn-Tonik Writing our songs like poems

Never like ballads I'm playing with diversity modes

Nice ladies they wanna know If I got weed or dope

But I just step...

...step on the court...

Start at "weed or dope."

- Nah, I'll do it in one take. - But I've got the rest.

Nah, bro, it's gonna be one take.

"Weed or dope" is the same shit anyway.

- I'll do it in one take. - Take 19.

Hey, this is Jinn-Tonik Writing our songs like poems

Skyline, crime time, snow and smack

In the dark alleys and the skyscrapers

Everybody wants the same, Chasing paper

Crime rate high, never goes down

It's hard to rise up from the ground

Big needs, big dreams

Everybody hustles And the ends justify the means, bro

Luck is rare, you gotta be ready When it's your time to shine

In Crack FM, the city with the skyline

Damn! That beat is lit, bro! Who made that?
