Hailing from Stuttgart, rapper Dexter started out crafting beats for other German artists, honing his future-facing style with unexpected breaks and jazz samples. It paid off—his 2008 debut launched a sound that is dark and mesmerizing, packed with heaving, unctuous bass beats rumbling under meticulous, propulsive rhymes. Yo, Picasso—his 2015 collaboration with Fatoni—showcases Dexter's powerful command of flow and rhythm through tracks like the raucous "Benjamin Button". And with experience both behind the boards and on the mic, Dexter knows exactly what it takes to make a hip-hop banger.
