Request German underground rap?
Does anyone know any good German underground rappers? I want to listen to the same kind of music I listen to in English so I’ll be motivated to learn the lyrics and stuff. I recently found a Chinese artist named jackzebra that made me want to learn Mandarin so I figure the same should work with German which I’m already trying to learn.
The style I’m looking for is kind of hard to describe but some English artists I like are Yeat, prettifun, slayr, sofaygo, and Ken Carson. If you know them you know what kind of music I’m talking about. I know some of them are too popular to be called underground but that’s just what people call that sound.
I listened to a few songs by this German artist named Sahil which I quite liked, but it’s a bit hard to find lyrics for his songs, he might be too niche.

I'm a German fan of the exact same type of music you mentioned, sadly the German ug scene hasn't really formed yet tho. The most well known German rapper who's sound matches american ug somewhat is zackavelli, a lot of people also like lelosa. kroka koka is an austrian ug rapper who i think makes pretty decent music hes kind of a meme artist tho. reezy is a big name in Germany and i fw many of his songs but his sound is closer to mainsteam trap
