Kolja Goldstein

Kolja Goldstein is currently one of the most compelling figures in German gangsta rap. Born in Augsburg, he blends fact and fiction like no one else - and manages to breathe fresh life into a genre that many had written off.

His associative storytelling draws on insider knowledge from the criminal underworld. With just a few lines he conjures vivid images and moods, backed by relentless pressure, sharp delivery, heavy bass and atmospheric beats.

After two Top Ten albums - "Global" (2023) and "Interpol" (2024) - and trend-chart number ones like "Montparnasse" and "NYC 2003", collaboration requests have become impossible to keep up with. He has already worked with Sido, Capo, Dú Maroc, Mozzik, Silva, Ngee and many more, and is signed to Universal.
