KALIM Essentials

KALIM Essentials

KALIM raps about his hometown of Hamburg in ominous tones. The MC built his reputation with street rap releases on the independent Alles oder Nix Records and high-profile collabs—namely, on label boss XATAR’s number one LP Baba aller Babas (2015). Drawing on old-school boom-bap and G-funk, the rapper veered towards trap on Top 10 album Thronfolger (2017), which featured fellow straight-talkers like Luciano and Gzuz & Gringo44. KALIM’s trials in an unforgiving metropolis feed his fierce creative offerings, but his nostalgic, melodic loops are a gripping contrast to his sombre urban snapshots.
