Tram 11 is a Croatian rap group that was one of the first prominent rap acts from Zagreb.[1]
History
The group formed in 1996 by Nenad Šimun "Target" and Srđan Ćuk "General Woo". They are named after a tram line number 11, that connects the western part of Zagreb from where Target is, with eastern part where General Woo lived. At that time Croatia had no recognized rappers until Tram 11 emerged in the "Blackout Project", a radio show started at "Radio 101" in 1993 to promote hip-hop and rap in Croatia.[2]
The band's song "Hrvatski velikani" (Croatian Greats), referencing the important historical figures featured on Croatian currency, was the first rap song to hit #1 on Croatian music top-lists.[2]
Their album Čovječe ne ljuti se (Man don't be angry) was released in 1999.
Their song "Kužiš Spiku" (You Understand the Slang) was subsequently included on the compilation The Best of International Hip-Hop.
They disbanded in 2003, because they got in a feud. Soon Target got schizophrenia and started recording solo. He dropped out "MC (album)" that did not have success, same as "The Album... Nastavak". General Woo dropped out his album with Nered, "Baš je lijep ovaj svijet" (This World is So Beautiful).
General Woo produced a commercial promo for Social Democratic Party of Croatia in 2005.[3] In 2009, there was another brief revival for Tram 11 when General Woo appeared on Target's song "Stavi ovo na roštilj" (Put This on the Barbecue) that was featured on his solo album "Još jedan dan u Zagrebu" (One More Day in Zagreb). In 2010, Target and General Woo appeared on the documentary "Hip Hop priča iz Hrvatske", meaning Hip Hop story from Croatia.[4]
Comeback
On April 1, 2017, after 14 years of inactivity Tram 11 announced a big comeback concert to be held on November 11, 2017 at Dom Sportova.[5]
Controversy
In January 2022, after 22 years, Tram 11 released their new album "Jedan i jedan" (One and one). Many Croatian media commented the album and the song "PŠK", citing provocative and politically incorrect[6] lyrics. According to some critics, the song "PŠK" expresses hatred towards certain groups.[7][8]
As result of public critique, on 24 January 2022 Menart Records has cancelled their contract with Tram 11 and withdrew the album from physical and digital stores.[9][10]
This has caused varying reactions from the Croatian public. Marko Milanović Litre, a member of Parlement representing the Croatian Sovereignists criticized Menart[11] stating that their decision indicates that "Croatia certainly practices cancel culture".[12]
