Edgar Wasser (born September 22, 1990 in Chicago) is a German rapper from Munich. [1]
Edgar Wasser was born in Chicago but moved to Munich with his parents at the age of three. He completed his Abitur at a Waldorf school. [1] He has publicly performed as a rapper since 2007 [2] and has published a series of free EPs and mixtapes online.
Blumentopf booked him as support for their tour. Wasser has released most of his music free of charge, collaborating with other members of the German rap scene, most notably Cap Kendricks. In 2013 he joined Cap Kendricks, X, Phil Harmony, Paul and DJ Mic-e to form the band Dopeboy. [3]
After releasing the third installment of his Edgar Wasser Freetrack Collection, in 2013 he published the album Nocebo with Fatoni of Creme Fresh. [3] Furthermore, he appeared at the 2013 Splash! Festival.
On November 14, 2014, he released his debut commercial album, the Tourette-Syndrom EP, with the German label Regenbogenpinguin. The record was distributed by Soulfood and peaked at #45 on the German album charts. [4]
Edgar Wasser utilizes elements of old-school hip hop as well as new-wave German rap. Unlike many German rappers, Edgar Wasser puts little emphasis on image or street credibility, revealing little of his private life. His texts are influenced by Conscious Rap and stand out due to his humour, which employs cynicism, sarcasm and irony. His texts often allude to Hip-Hop-culture and various hip hop cultures, ranging from German student rap to Gangsta rap. [3]
