Moses Pelham (born 24 February 1971 in Frankfurt) is a German rapper, singer and producer.
In 1993, together with Thomas Hofmann in Frankfurt, he started the Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt. Pelham is a member of the German band Glashaus.
Pelham used for his 1997 song "Nur mir" a two-second sample of Kraftwerk's "Metall auf Metall" from 1977. As a result, Kraftwerk sued Pelham for copyright infringement. The case continued for over 20 years, with Pelham ultimately losing in 2020. [1] However, as copyright law changed shortly afterwards, the ruling doesn't apply to the current law, and the lawsuits for the use of the sample after June 2021 continue. [2]
