Cologne duo solo nour unveils their new single, sad something, a deeply introspective track that explores the weight of depression and the strength it takes to move forward. With their raw lyrics and a soundscape that mirrors the emotional journey from despair to hope, sad something captures the experience of those battling their inner struggles.

“There are days when even getting out of bed feels impossible,” Billie shares. “You convince yourself you’re stuck, yet life keeps moving. The weight lingers, but with time, it lightens, making space for joy to return. The first step is deciding to rise—even when it feels like you can’t.”

Billie Barleben—yes, that is her real name—is a trained actress and loves to dance. In addition to her artistic pursuits, she is involved with the project minhafaktur, a cooperative in Cologne-Poll that creates spaces for collaborative and interdisciplinary work. At the first event she organized, Yaşar Fidan—known as Anatolian Lover—also performed. Anatolian Lover grew up in Ankara and Ingolstadt. He is a beatmaker with a classic hip-hop background and has released various works with Dezibelle Records from Berlin. He is also an aspiring social worker who conducts workshops on racial equality, diversity, and masculinity.

It took a second meeting for Billie Barleben and Anatolian Lover to come together as solo nour. The fact that this happened at a surf camp in France is a charming anecdote, but not the main point. A few weeks later—in Winter 2023—they met for the first time in Yaşar's home studio in Cologne-Mühlheim. Since then, they’ve hardly ever stopped making music.

“At some point, I received a message from Yaşar that he needed a break from me because he couldn't hear my voice anymore over all the mixing. At that time, there were ten songs in progress—simultaneously. Now it’s fine again,” Billie jokes, adding, “Our music has become a place of encounter and connection. With solo nour, a deep friendship has also developed.”

This is a friendship they now want to share with the rest of the world. It’s about time, we think, because the way solo nour brings together hip-hop, indie, soul, and pop is very much worth a listen.

Evidence - Different Phases

The Mucking Fuppets – “Nooch” (Written by Grizzle)
🔥 First single from the upcoming 7th album 'The Mucking Fuppets Strike Back'
📀 A Crackjaw Records release

Brace yourself.
“Nooch” is a filthy, boom bap-drenched banger from the underground of Calizona — The Mucking Fuppets. Written by Grizzle, this foul-mouthed track is a stoner's war cry, a parking-lot freestyle with its pants around its ankles, and a heavy nod to the cult classic energy of Jay & Silent Bob.

Built on a thunderous beat and thick with that signature Fuppet attitude, “Nooch” interpolates the legendary Jay’s Rap 2001 from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, flipping it into a whole new monster — part homage, part hazy hallucination.

“We just wanted to make something that felt like about to light a splif outside the Quick Stop,” says Grizzle. “This is that.”

If you love your hip hop rowdy, ridiculous, and unapologetically loud — this is your jam.
If not? Snoogans.
