Nobody knows who he is or where he comes from, but everyone knows his name. What would be an exaggeration for most newcomers to the German rap scene is overwhelming reality for the masked rapper 1986zig. Hardly anyone can escape him or his music today.
This is also evidenced by the hype surrounding him, which even after the initial viral explosion on all social platforms last year only seems to get bigger, making him one of the most exciting and celebrated new acts of the last two years. His start with cover versions and sound snippets kicked off an avalanche that is now unstoppable. In the meantime, the meteoric rise of the rapper inspires over 1.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify with his own songs and that with a tendency to increase exponentially.
Since his debut single "One of you" from 2021, 1986zig has released six more singles and further underpinned his status as an exceptional musical artist. The impressive playlist placements that his songs have stormed also show that not only sworn fans think so. Meanwhile, the tracks celebrate nearly 96 million streams across all platforms with numbers that continue to go through the roof daily! His trademark is a contrasting sound palette that makes each of his songs unmistakably one of his own.
Previously incompatible worlds merge with strong beats on delicate melodies and his uniquely smoky and tart voice that just won't leave your head. A combination with true addictive potential. A broad number of established acts in the German music scene also find this to be the case. Among publicly avowed fans are Kontra K and Bozza, who have already been heard as features on the singles "Keine Pause" and "Goldraub". Also as a support act for, among others, Alligatoah, Prinz Pi and Clueso, the rapper could already inspire live.
