  • Bio

    Some say its the voice. While others state its the choice of words or the content of the statement being made. When in fact nothing might be able to describe it the right way. Its the soul within all of it that gets the recognition and acception and survives with longevity. When Rasul raises his voice he does not only talk. When he forges his thoughts and words, not only a clear statement can be heard. Rasul speaks his soul... .. Only the greatest musicians of our time possess the ability to express themselves in feelings and visions; a chracteristic that Rasul gets credit for ever since his first releases have seen the light of day. Rasuls outstanding gift to describe and transport emotions and stories made him become one of the most appreciated rappers of Europe ever since Square One, not trying to neglect the fact that the group projects debut release Walk of Life (Showdown / WEA / Warner Music) had a tremendous success in more continents than only one. Releases in countries like the USA, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Austria and Switzerland prove this artists motivation and claim to work on an international level. Besides the impressive feedback from press, artists and fans for an album that can easily be justified as one of the milestones of rap music produced in Germany, the Persian born Rasul always had a constant strive for artistical development and output, the latter not being able to accomplish in the old constellation of a group of four. 2 years after the split of Square One, Rasul has finished work on his solo debut Welcome Home and although the expectations for the comeback have been high on all sides, after months of intensive work Rasul seems to take this hurdle with ease. The Brooklynite of many years is taking his position as one of the greatest rappers and mcs on this planet and impressively moves intuitively on the highest lyrical level to bless the instrumentals of the biggest producers in Europe.
