BRADO

BRADO, born Doğan Bayram on December 5, 1999, is a German rapper from Rüsselsheim am Main, of Kurdish descent with roots in Ağrı, Turkey. He emerged as part of the wave of German-Kurdish and Turkish-German rappers who rose through the Rhine-Main region's hip-hop scene in the late 2010s, building his reputation through tracks like «Kafa Leyla» and «Steige ein».

BRADO's career is closely tied to his friendship with fellow rapper Mero, with whom he shared both a school background and early ambitions in music. That connection led to both artists being signed to Groove Attack TraX, the label run by veteran German rapper Xatar, a pairing that placed BRADO within a lineage of gritty, street-oriented German rap.

His music blends German-language rap with references to his Kurdish-Turkish heritage, and songs such as «Nie mehr broke», «Kein Limit» and «Million» reflect recurring themes of struggle, ambition, and loyalty common to the scene he emerged from. While his catalog remains relatively compact, tracks like «Ihr könnt geh'n» and «Ich pass auf» show a consistent, personal voice shaped by his background and the mentorship of Xatar's label.
