3. 2000s: Berlin, Hartz and hardship

The 2000s: A new era dawns in rap. It's getting tough. Kitty Kat also feels this, signing a contract with the up-and-coming label Aggro Berlin at the beginning of the 2000s, but feeling hidden. She talks about this as she cruises through episode 3 of "Hiphop - Made in Germany" together with Ali Bumaye. They immerse themselves in the spirit of the 2000s with mixtapes by Bushido, Sido, Eko Fresh and Kool Savas. Social hardship is also on the rise: Hartz IV is coming, terrorists fly into the World Trade Center, leading to a wave of anti-Muslim racism.
