Their first instrumental was on the album Alte Schule ("Old school"), the first songs which featured the twins rapping were "HipHop und Rap" ("HipHop and Rap") and "Allein zu zweit" ("Alone Together") and were released in 1995 on the album The Sound of MZEE. They are considered to be pioneers of the German hip hop scene and their productions were well ahead of their time, they have had a formative influence on the Hip Hop and Rap genres.

Although they have only released one rap album, they are well respected in Germany because of their lyrics, which are critical of the hip hop business and politics, all of which are performed in the distinctive accent of the Heidelberg, Germany area.
