Vega Essentials

Vega Essentials

Frankfurt’s fiercest sceptic spits punchlines and searches for salvation in this visceral selection. Andre Witter made his Deutschrap debut in 2004 as VRS with mixtape Erst der Anfang. A series of character-building collabs with fellow MCs would follow before he founded indie label Freunde von Niemand in 2011, ready to plough his own furrow. Vega’s home city seeps into his music, whether he’s memorialising the grit and grime it taught him to bear on “Winter in Frankfurt” or gazing at its lights with RAF Camora and MoTrip for bittersweet anthem “Von einem anderen Stern”.
