Primitive Lyrics (aka "PL") is a hip hop crew, founded 1991 in Zürich, Switzerland. The group was one of the first Swiss dialect hip hop crews. Primitive Lyrics combined live rock music (drums, bass, guitar, saxophone) together with a DJ and two rappers.
After their first maxi single 'Tescht', they released their first album Halbi Nüni Chlorzicht in 1994. Primitive Lyrics' main domain was live concerts, so they toured through Switzerland and Germany. In 1995 PL released a second maxi single and in 1997 their second album called PLAG, meaning 'plague' in Swiss German. The second meaning is PL AG (Aktiengesellschaft) which translates into Primitive Lyrics Ltd.
The band dissolved in Autumn 1997 after the PLAG-Tour. On 8 September 2001 they gave a one-time 'reunion' concert in Seebach, Zurich which happened open-air under heavy rain.
In 2003, Jet Domani and Redl founded Radio 200000 together with Sgoing Erlöst and Krasseranz.

Famous quotes containing the words primitive and/or lyrics:
“Look at this poet William Carlos Williams: he is primitive and native, and his roots are in raw forest and violent places; he is word-sick and place-crazy. He admires strength, but for what? Violence! This is the cult of the frontier mind.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
