Turkish-German MC, Alpa Gun, swept up a wide audience when he joined Berlin-based hip-hop clique Die Sekte, but, on his solo cuts, fans get inside the rapper's dark headspace without interruption. This is down-and-dirty street rap with lumbering streams of aggressive rhyming over terse, foreboding beats. On hits like "Ausländer", from his debut solo album Geladen und entsichert, Alpa Gun comes out swinging—the cut actually sounds like a boxer's hype music. The rapper's sound has continued to evolve with each release, folding in instrumental samples and embracing dark trap beats.
