Soyhan

When he went viral on TikTok in 2023 with his first single “Inhaliere” and people suddenly started taking notice of him, Soyhan took it in his stride. After all, he is by no means a blank slate. At just 20 years old, the rapper and producer has already made a name for himself in Berlin’s hip-hop scene and has worked as a writer for ZAH1DE, among others. From the vibe of the streets in his neighbourhood, Wedding 65, to humorous takes with beats in a tracksuit, right through to a look at “Kalte Zeiten” (2024), the GTA fan covers a broad spectrum of sweetly hazy rap tropes and always stays on the cutting edge of the hype. Tracks of the calibre of “Push Push” (2025) or “Augenfarbe Hajar” (2026) showcase Soyhan as a young artist whose lines fit just as well with Miami bass as they do with techno or breakbeats. Far from a sure-fire hit, just racking up millions of streams on the relevant platforms, right? No problem for this guy, anyway. He’s since bagged a deal with Universal subsidiary Ventura Records as well as a slot with us in September. It can only be good.
