Cro

Cro is one of Germany's more celebrated artists, collecting awards and millions of streaming numbers for his invigorating blend of rap and pop that he appropriately coined "raop." Known for both his musical style and the easily recognizable panda mask he wears in every press photo, Cro broke through to mainstream success with his first single in 2011 and only became more popular from there, rising to the number one position on the German charts with every album he released -- from his 2015 debut, Raop, to his 2017 album tru. -- while singles like 2020's "Fall Auf" and "Endless Summer" maintained his prominence.
