A loyal Berliner with a well-demonstrated aptitude for martial arts, Kontra K injects his rough-edged urban chronicles with the spirit of sportsmanship. Released in 2016, Labyrinth kicked off a series of consecutive German number-one albums that established him as a towering force in German hip-hop, known for his gritty, inescapable refrains and affectingly honest lyrics. The Deutschrap champ drops hard-hitting bars about sacrifice and triumph over epic strings, irreverently samples ‘90s Europop and veers into dancehall alongside trusted collaborator RAF Camora.
