Arrest warrant

Street rap with unmistakable style and deep realism

Haftbefehl is one of the most influential rappers in Germany and is regarded as a formative figure for modern street rap. Hailing from Offenbach, he has created his own art form with his unmistakable linguistic style, distinctive flows and uncompromising lyrics, which has an impact far beyond the genre. His songs are characterised by authentic insights into life between the streets, the struggle for survival and personal identity.

Musically, Haftbefehl combines raw beats, dark soundscapes and his characteristic mix of slang, multilingualism and neologisms. Tracks like Chabos know who the Babo is, 074, Russian roulette or Thick jumper show his ability to combine harsh reality, clever storytelling and an independent aesthetic. His lyrics are often socially critical, personal and at the same time culturally influential - especially in the German rap landscape.

Haftbefehl impresses live with his energetic presence, intense atmosphere and direct connection to his audience. With his unique voice, his distinctive sound and his artistic consistency, he has established himself as one of the most important and influential voices in German hip-hop.
