Audio88

Audio88 is a German rapper best known as one half of the Berlin duo Audio88 & Yassin, a project central to the German underground rap scene since the early 2010s, known for dense wordplay, dark humor and self-deprecating irony. Before that duo, he was active under the alias EINERVONUNS, releasing the album «Die Ruhe traut sich nur vor dem Sturm nach draußen» and the «Propaganda» EP in 2007.

He has a long history of collaborations and side projects within the German rap underground, including releasing music as Audiogott alongside Retrogott, and appearing under the pseudonym Menschenfreund88 on Marsimoto's 2018 album «Verde», part of a running joke where featured guests on that record used altered versions of their own artist names.

Audio88's style is marked by rapid-fire, densely layered lyricism, sardonic wit and a willingness to experiment with alter egos and pseudonyms across different projects, which has made him a respected and influential figure among fans of German conscious and underground rap. His work with Yassin in particular helped define a distinct voice in Berlin's rap scene, blending technical rapping with sharp social and self-referential commentary.
