COSMO Festival

In the organizer's words:

COSMO Festival! That means: one day and one night of global pop madness between glam and guerrilla. With unique artists in the most lovable location in the Pott.

First line-up drop: Ezhel, the greatest poet of Turkish rap.

Sercan İpekçioğlu alias Ezhel is currently THE defining figure of the Turkish rap diaspora. He brilliantly combines trap, hip hop and reggae to create his own sound. And he is an artist with a social attitude. In keeping with the old rap tradition, Ezhel also places socio-critical themes at the center of his lyrics. He grew up in Ankara and the city's street music scene was his college. His debut album Müptezhel catapulted him into the limelight in 2017. Ezhel became the mouthpiece of the dissatisfied in Turkey. He was arrested for allegedly glorifying drug use in his songs. In others, he addresses the attempted coup and the increasing femicides in his home country. Ezhel has lived in Berlin for five years. His latest album "Derdo" is the first to be created entirely in his new home city. Full of stories about love, excess and loneliness. Ezhel's live shows are legendary. It goes without saying that he gets one of the headliner slots at the COSMO Festival.
