Kool Savas
The King of Rap released his new mixtape "Essahdamus" in late 2016 and proved all those wrong who thought Savas was taking it easy. Twenty years in the game, three number one albums in a row, gold and platinum awards in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and sold out tours for years. Resting on his laurels and taking it easy for now, however, is out of the question for a Kool Savas. In the last decade, Kool Savas has more than impressively proven that he deserves the title of King of Rap and is by far the best live MC in the country.
Azad
Azad is a German rap legend. Over the course of his career, the Frankfurt native has collaborated with numerous high-profile artists such as Akon, Gentleman, Xavier Naidoo, Kool Savas and Ich+Ich singer Adel Tawil.
"Leben II" is his latest record. Pure rap. "Honest, authentic, technical, painful. To the point."
Curse
Curse is considered one of the most profound and versatile MCs in the German-speaking world.
Ten years after the release of his debut album "Feuerwasser" Curse had surprisingly stepped down from the stage. The "corset, the public image of Curse, had become too static" for Michael Kurth.
At the end of 2015, 15 years after his debut "Feuerwasser", Curse re-released the now unavailable debut album, completely reworked by Busy, who was also responsible for the sound back then. At the same time it goes on "Feuerwasser15" tour. "Occasionally, you will be able to see Curse live, once again feel the pure energy from 15 years of music, before it's time to decide on further projects."
Vega
After various EPs and numerous features with various artists, the so-called. Collaboalbum "German Problems" with the Mainzer (now Berlin) separately. 2009 debut album "Lieber bleib ich broke". 2013 "Nero" entered the album charts in Germany at number 2. 2015 his fourth album "Kaos" reaches the top of the German charts.
Olli Banjo - Live 2017
.Olli Banjo's performance has earned him an exceptional position within the German rap ranks due to his "tasteful beat selection, coupled with the necessary hunger, rhyming finesse and an often provocative but always intelligent sense of humor, as well as his thematic facet." His collaborations with artists such as Kool Savas, Sido, Marteria and Xavier Naidoo speak for themselves. Last album "Dynamit".
