Duality is a dual state or quality, and within mathematical systems a symmetry whereby a theorem remains valid if certain objects, relations or operations are interchanged. It also runs as both a feeling and realisation throughout the fourteen tracks included on the new album by Ferge X Fisherman. Duality is equal parts rap and jazz, contains electronically produced beats and live instrumentation, and is lyrically reflective yet totally unreserved. In regard to its lyrical content, Duality is ostensibly a self-portrait of a musician taking his first small steps onto the giant stages of the music industry. The record also features high-profile international guest stars such as Detroit rapper Black Milk and Japanese jazz trumpeter and Blue Note artist Takuya Kuroda (both on Reality), New Zealand soul singer Noah Slee (Business) and South African singer Hunter Rose (Home). With its unconventional sound, Duality is a unique statement of intent for the German hip hop scene and sets a standard for others to follow.
