Olexesh raps the way Muhammad Ali fought, hitting the beat with verbal volleys that combine agility with power. The German MC first carved out a niche for himself by pairing gritty subject matter with beats indebted to New York boom bap. By 2012, Olexesh had became one of his country's hottest new voices, building off support from popular Frankfurt duo Celo & Abdi. With 2014's Nu Eta Da, Olexesh even mastered the hazy slow jam, smoothing out the harsh consonants of his native tongue for a devastating cocktail of street smarts and seduction.
