Originally he started out with Lexx as "Bligg'n'Lexx". After two albums as a duo, in 2001 he published his first solo LP "Normal", with which he entered the charts as one of only few Swiss rappers. His second solo album "Odyssey" was also a big commercial success. On his solo projects, Lexx appeared as a producer and also as an MC, amongst other Swiss MCs, such as Stress, Spooman and P.Moos. He has also invited international guests on his albums, for instance Kool Savas (Berlin, Germany) and Tha Alkaholiks.
He also gets involved with the "Schweizer Fernsehen" (main swiss tv-station) to prevent suicides!
His latest Album is called "Yves Spink" and reached place 9 in the Swiss albumcharts. That's the best chartposition a album of Bligg ever had!

Bligg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
und du hilfsch eus flüchte vo dä Realität
Playboy-Bunny-Manison
Silikon und Extensions
Irgendwo zwüsched Monroe und Marilyn Manson
Du fahrsch a eus verbi i dim Benz
Eusi Kidz gsehnd's und sie wännd’s und sie folged dim Trend
Und d'Essenz isch verbrännt
Chli Michi dänkt er seg 50 Cent
Päm Päm!
Mir sind chranki Seele im Garten Eden
immitiered dis Verhalte wie Pantomime
Din American Dream wird zum nä böse Traum
Erica halted dä Druck nöd us und hangt am Baum
Refrain:
Hollywood - Du hesch d'Wält veränderet
Hollywood - Dini Sterne bländet
Ich setz d'Sunnebrülle uf und gseh mal wider klar
Wach uf us dim Traum und dänk das isch nöd wahr
Ohh nei... Ohh nei...
Danke Holly dass du eus hilfsch z'vergässe
und eusi Töchter dur es Wunschbild nüüt meh frässed
Du luegsch Pornos wie Tierfilm und haltisch's für d'Liebi
figgsch ohni Gummi umme bis mit H.I.V. invisziert bisch
Mir sind verwirrt sind verirrt nur wäg dir
wüssed nümme wo ussä wo iä
folged dir wie Schaaf am Hirt
Die Bahn isch schief man was isch da passiert
oder bis am End nur ich wo da Panik schiebt?
Dini Lüge und Gschichte händ d'Lüüt vergiftet
Vor dim Schönheits-Wahnsinn isch nüüt meh sicher
Dini V.I.P-Party hätt dä Tüüfel gmischlet
Und din Name schtaht z'oberscht uf dä Gäschtelischte
Danke Hollywood für dini Gschichte und Lüge
Und dass mir eus dur dich viel wichtiger fühled
Es warted Barbie & Ken uf es Happy End
Danke Hollywood
Refrain:
Bligg's song Hollywood is a critical commentary on the influence that Hollywood has on society. The lyrics express gratitude towards Hollywood for showing us a way to escape reality through its glamour and fame, but at the same time, they highlight its negative impact on society. The stars that have walked the red carpets and paved the way, seems to have misled the youth through the trend and superficial lifestyle, where money is the only competency. Bligg refers to one iconic duo, the late Marilyn Monroe and Marilyn Manson, both who have made a name for themselves through their shocking and unconventional behavior. The Kidz, who emulate their actions, have no sense of individuality, and their essence is burnt out.
The second verse is a continuation of the same theme, where Hollywood is seen as a place that can help people forget their problems, but at the same time, the unrealistic beauty standards, the porn industry, and the unchecked sexual activity associated with it, are poisoning the young generation. Hollywood's obsession with beauty and perfection has resulted in societal pressure to follow unrealistic beauty standards. As a result, people are turning to cosmetic surgery and other artificial means to attain a certain look. This has resulted in a distorted sense of self-worth, where people are willing to do anything to fit in, even at the cost of their own health.
