Muki & Useless ID
Muki & Useless ID (מוקי ויוסלס איי.די.) is the self-titled collaboration album by Israeli punk band Useless ID and Israeli hip hop/reggae artist Muki. Although Useless ID is known for recording their albums in English, the album, which shows the band as Muki's backing band, was recorded entirely in Hebrew. The album was released on January 7, 2010, followed by a special release show at the Barby club in Tel Aviv, Israel, on January 28, 2010.
The album was produced by famed Israeli reggae producer Yossi Fine, with all the lyrics written by Muki himself, and all music written by Useless ID frontman Yotam Ben-Horin. The track "הנה עיר" (Here's a City) features Israeli pop singer Keren Peles on vocals.
Three singles were released prior the release of the album: "עוד יבואו ימים טובים יותר" (Better Days Will Come), "מה לך נפשי" (What Do You Want, My Soul) and "הנה עיר" (Here's a City) featuring Keren Peles, with a music video made for the later. "הנשמה מלב אל לב" (Heart to Heart Resuscitation) was also released as a digital single to promote the album before its release, but was not released to radio stations or on CD.
