Giwar Hajabi—aka XATAR—is a Deutschrap mogul, recognised for his business empire that encompasses record labels, clothing lines and hookah bars. He’s helped launch the careers of a slew of young German rappers, too. And he wouldn’t exert such influence without being a chart-topping artist in his own right. Serving as timely reminders are the likes of the moody, politically barbed “Ohne Reden”, the glowering, beat-driven boom of 2LADE collaboration “Follow Me” and the controlled aggression of “Antar”.
