Veysel

Veysel, born in Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, favors a brusque delivery for his rhymes across lean and dramatic productions and has maintained activity from the beginning of the 2010s onward. As a teenager he cultivated an intense engagement with the genre well before issuing his first recording, an experience shaped most strongly by the music of 2Pac. His initial release, the 2010 single "Lieben & Hassen," opened a period of consistent work that encompassed both lead and featured tracks over the next several years. The 2013 mixtape 43 Therapie and the 2014 album Audiovisuell appeared among those early projects, each issued on Aykut Anhan’s Azzlack imprint. After leaving Azzlack he joined Bela Boyz, where the singles "Bargeld," "Kleiner Cabrón," and "Yakuza"—among his best-known tracks—preceded the album Hitman (2017).
