Their debut album, "Coole Scheiße," followed in 1994, coinciding with the "Klasse von ’94" tour alongside Absoluten Beginnern and MC Rene, which continued in 1995 as the "Klasse von ’95" tour with additional musicians. The album included the track "Zwischen den Stühlen," contributing to a debate sparked by Advanced Chemistry’s song "Fremd im eigenen Land." During this period, Main Concept became a central part of Munich’s hip-hop scene, regularly organizing jams at the Muffathalle featuring both international acts—such as DV alias Khrist, Missin Linx, Al Tariq, Problemz, and Get Open—and German groups, alongside graffiti artists like Seen, Ces, and Mode 2.
