Michael Kurth (born, 6 September 1978), better known as Curse, is a former hip hop artist from Minden, Germany.
Curse has had a long musical past. In his youth, he played songs like "Zwei Mal In Den Kopf" ("Twice into the head") in his former band Phat Kicks. In the 1990s, his band had gigs in the area of Stadthagen.
On his first album, Feuerwasser, (released in 2000), his lyrics were self-reflective and dealt with things that had happened in his life, but also contained classical hip hop tracks such as representing- and battle-tracks. He especially raps about abortive relationships and admits mistakes to himself. For that reason, he is something of an outsider in the hip hop scene.
The beats on Feuerwasser and many other releases are often produced by Sascha Bühren, aka Busy.
In 2001, he released his second album, Von Innen Nach Außen, which literally means "From the Inside to the Outside". On this album, Curse continued his style. The lead single "Lass uns doch Freunde sein" ("Let us be friends") was different from current rap clichés, and thus gained attention outside the hip hop scene. The German hip hop magazine Juice awarded this album with the title "Best National Album". It reached the German top-ten charts and was released in Japan.
