Born in Offenbach am Main, briefly ensconced in Istanbul and now CEO of his hip-hop label Azzlackz, Aykut Anhan—aka Haftbefehl (German for “arrest warrant”)—delivers chart-topping albums and scorching double-time salvos with equal aplomb. In “Papa war ein Rolling Stone”, he elides punk-rock excess with hip-hop hustle to forge a poignant letter from father to son. Its heartfelt urgency is a stark contrast to unconstrained anthems like “Russisch Roulette”—now a cornerstone of Deutschrap legend. Whether he’s serving sharp-tongued satire or is deadly serious, Haftbefehl never falters in his flow.
