Kaliber 44 is a Polish hip hop band formed in 1994 in Katowice by Piotr ?uszcz ("Magik"), Marcin Marten ("Dab") and Micha? Marten ("Joka"). The name of the group does not come from a gun, but from the calibre of problems the group spoke about and the number 44 is a reference to Dziady written by Adam Mickiewicz. Nad ludy i nad króle podniesiony; Na trzech stoi koronach, a sam bez korony; A ?ycie jego - trud trudów, A tytu? jego - lud ludów; Z matki obcej, krew jego dawne bohatery, A imi? jego czterdzie?ci i cztery. Above people, and above kings lifted; He stands on three crowns, but himself is without a crown; And his life - the hardest of hardships, And his title - the person of the people; From a foreign mother, his blood is of ancient heroes; And his name forty and four.
