Rapper and songwriter Patron—formerly known as Patron Flex—hails from Mersin, Türkiye. Perhaps he removed “Flex” from his pseudonym due to its redundancy, as his tracks do most of that for him. Formerly part of PMC, hip-hop clearly runs in Patron’s blood—his brother is renowned rapper Saian. It’s Patron’s dizzying trap verses that makes him stand out from the crowd, as well as his fierce lyrics that are both on target, poetic and full of ‘90s hip-hop tropes. A big collaborator, Patron has featured artists like FRO, Ati242 and Fate Fat on his tracks.
