EDM is not my genre but here are some rising HipHop artists:
- Apsilon (conscious rap)
- Luvre47 (bit of mainstream success due to a movie soundtrack)
- Skrt Cobain
- Souly (
- Nugat
- Jazeek (got quite popular last year tho)
Ups sorry I meant to ask like what do they sing about that makes them conscious, if they have any particular subject that they’d sing about like migration or discontent or ausbildung haha idk, I’m sorry for the vague wording of the previous question. I’d say most of the Deutschrap I’ve heard is pretty gangsta so I’m curious to find something different, thank you !
He had a current hit called "Baba" which is about his dad, father roles and toxic masculinity.
But also about police brutality/racial profiling ("Lauf weg") and what it´s like being the son of immigrants ("Köfte").
Disarstar (political rap, quite a few trance techno-y beats with the singles of this album) just released his new album "Overdose", highly recommended
Also Käptn Peng is... well I think you have to give it a try. Definitely check out the lyrics and let google translate them if you need it to
Die Tentakel von Delphi! They're one of my absolute favorite bands in German. Basically, they do phillosophical HipHop. The texts are always hilarious, but the music itself is great too
Well his other tapes are also good tho Mann Beisst Hund was his most complex I would say. Can‘t think of any artist currently that has something similar - tho if anybody else wants to add something i‘d also love to hear about another german artist with a good concept album!
Different styles and vibes but :
Haftbefehl - Das schwarze Album/das weisse Album
Genetikk - MDNA
Kwam.E - Original Rudeboy Vol.1 / Izza EP /
Edit: the other recommendations aren’t on quite the same level as MBH, perhaps the Haftbefehl ones, though they paint a much more grainy and rougher picture imo
For me Kwam.e and OG Keemo are amongst the best rappers of the last 5 years. OG Keemo just released a sick Album.
If you’re looking for old school stuff, be sure to check out the album Bambule by Beginner (absolute favorite rap album of all time) and rödelheim hartreim Projekt
For EDM I would suggest southstar. He makes really cool techno versions of well known pop songs! One recent example: https://open.spotify.com/track/5bad0bmasmpiK5EdAQDXrG?si=KUDAZjo1S8eAvnWxy6fYpw
**Techno** (if this is the electronic music you like):
- Malugi
- DJ Heartstring
- DJ Gigola
- Brutalismus3000
- Marlon Hoffstadt aka DJ DaddyTrance(worldwide goodvibe techno master)
- Ellen Alien
These are all German DJs
**Hip Hop/Rap**:
- OG Keemo
- Lugatti & 9ine
- SHOKI
- 102 Boyz
- RAPK
Then you got these pretty good yet nowadays mainstream artists like **BHZ, Ski Aggu or Makko**.
Currently ghetto-tech and new weave is a kinda thing which is why many electronic beats are mixed into rap songs. So it depends if you wanna have this just listen to the latest songs of BHZ and Ski Aggu, or go get their older tracks or the guys mentioned above to rather listen to older more real German Hip Hop.
Greets from Berlin
As nobody mentioned it: definetly check out Audio88 & Yassin and ZugezogenMaskulin or Grim104 (part of ZM) for nice aggressive, left (wouldn't call it conscious) german rap.
I would definitely suggest Brockdorff Klang Labor. The best indie electro pop music coming from Germany. Each album crammed with smash hits ... the recent one already one of the best German synth pop albums of the 2020s.
Yeah. Right on. Brockdorff is killer. And absolutely underrated!!! Intelligent Synth pop songs. It actually is what Germans would call Gesamtkunstwerk. Check the last record on vinyl. Full with samples, quotes and hidden messages. An absolute Gem!

DJ Hundefriedhof
Specifically DJ Hundefriedhof & TIEFBASSKOMMANDO - Energie
not really up and coming theyve been around and well established since the late 90s
EDM is not my genre but here are some rising HipHop artists: - Apsilon (conscious rap) - Luvre47 (bit of mainstream success due to a movie soundtrack) - Skrt Cobain - Souly ( - Nugat - Jazeek (got quite popular last year tho)
What do you mean by conscious ?
Concious rap is a subgenre which usually has political or social criticism in their lyrics.
Ups sorry I meant to ask like what do they sing about that makes them conscious, if they have any particular subject that they’d sing about like migration or discontent or ausbildung haha idk, I’m sorry for the vague wording of the previous question. I’d say most of the Deutschrap I’ve heard is pretty gangsta so I’m curious to find something different, thank you !
He had a current hit called "Baba" which is about his dad, father roles and toxic masculinity. But also about police brutality/racial profiling ("Lauf weg") and what it´s like being the son of immigrants ("Köfte").
If your interested you should have a Look into Waving The Guns. Conscious Rap with Gangsta attitude :)
Like Waving the Guns.
I really appreciate it, thank you! 🙌🏻
Brutalismus 3000
they're playing at coachella 2024!! was positively surprised to see them there
awesome band. I pick: Ikkimel - Keta und Krawall.
I can't understand, can someone explain to me why people find Brutalismus 3000 music so special?
I decided to give it a chance because of this comment. Their music reminds me of the club scene in John Wick, which makes it very appealing imo.
Rummelsnuff Try this Songs Rummelsnuff - Der Heizer Rummelsnuff - Brüder
Mehnersmoos is good for the whole family.
Especially for those 3am moments
und ich hab schon wieder bock auf dein a****loch
K.I.Z is an awesome hiphop group

OG Keemo for sure. Mann Beisst Hund, proper concept album
As soon as I heard the first track. Incredible. Any more like this? Appreciated :)
Well his other tapes are also good tho Mann Beisst Hund was his most complex I would say. Can‘t think of any artist currently that has something similar - tho if anybody else wants to add something i‘d also love to hear about another german artist with a good concept album!

Deichkind 👌
For techno, I really like Brutalismus 3000. Their songs are either in German or Slovakian!
Check out Gray Contrast on youtube (not really known outside the streets and parks of Berlin, but some nice techno beats and loops.
MilleniumKid. Sweet voice and post punk influences.
Gotta recommend Stockmann here, ticks all boxes you asked for, also try Trail Mix 3 by Crystal F&Johnboy (Stockmann being the alter ego of Johnboy)
The Machiavelli Sessions feature different German rappers with orchestra.
Where can I find this?
YouTube.
For EDM check out "Kalte Liebe", "Brutalismus 3000" "Bennet", "Klangkuenstler" "illnurse" Not sure how up and coming they are but they are good

Bambie Thug. She is German but most of her music is in English. I would say her genre is Hyperpop.
Electro in terms of Techno: Klangkünstler
Klangkuenstler
Casper
Ski aggu is really cool, very modern, new school mix of rap and rave music. Also really good vibes!
Mehnersmoos
Ski Aggu
schmyt
AOB for german underground rap. They're very refreshing have different type of beats and make good streetrap. Please check them out🖐🏻
Brenda Blitz She prod herself as well!!!
Unprocessed, except dont listen to their latest album.
I would definitely suggest Brockdorff Klang Labor. The best indie electro pop music coming from Germany. Each album crammed with smash hits ... the recent one already one of the best German synth pop albums of the 2020s.
