Prezident: Unveiling the Depths of Conscious Rap

Explore the life and musical journey of Prezident, the German rapper known for his profound lyrics and contributions to the Conscious Rap genre. Dive into the narrative of Viktor Alexander Bertermann, born on December 8, 1984, in Wuppertal, who later adopted the stage name Prezident.

Life

Growing up in Wuppertal, Bertermann's fascination with Hip-Hop ignited at the age of 13. Influenced by iconic groups like Freundeskreis, Beginnern, and Eins Zwo, as well as notable rappers such as Samy Deluxe and international inspirations like Eminem, Nas, and Cypress Hill, he embarked on his rap journey under the alias EMP. Despite facing challenges in finding a nearby beat producer, he self-taught the necessary skills. Supported later by Fella Oner, Bertermann initially delved into Battlerap, with his last demo released in 2004 as EMP Cripz before a significant shift in direction.

Inspired by literary figures like Franz Kafka, Ernest Hemingway, Marquis de Sade, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, and particularly Charles Bukowski, he rebranded as Prezident. Simultaneously, he pursued Germanistik and Geschichte studies at Bergische Universität Wuppertal. Referring to his music as "Whiskeyrap," he aptly dubbed himself "Hip Hop Hemingway." His mixtapes, such as "Musik zum aus dem Fenster springen" (2006) and "Vom Mann In Reno" (2007), showcased his evolving style influenced by Bukowski's works.

Discography

Prezident's discography is a testament to his evolution as an artist. From the minimalist beats of "Kleiner Katechismus" (2008) to the unexpected success of "Limbus" (2016), which reached the 13th spot on the German Album Charts, his musical journey is one of continuous exploration. Noteworthy releases include "Neueste Erkenntnisse vom absteigenden Ast" (2010), "Gesunder Eskapismus" (2021), and the unexpected hit "Alles ist voll von Göttern" (2020), peaking at 7th place in the German Album Charts.
