GReeeN

GReeeN, born Pasquale Denefleh, is a German rapper from Mannheim who first rose to prominence as a battle rapper in the VBT (Villa-Battle-Turnier) online competitions and later became one of the defining figures of the JBB (Juggling Battle Battle) and JMC scenes. Known for his rapid-fire wordplay, dense punchlines and improvisational skill, he is often cited as one of the most technically gifted battle rappers in German hip-hop history, and his high-profile clash with SpongeBOZZ at the JBB 2013 semifinal remains one of the genre's most talked-about moments.

Beyond battle rap, GReeeN has released material blending rap with pop and rock elements, and cultivated a distinctive alter ego, Grinch Hill, which he describes as his darker, more primitive side, allowing him to explore rawer, more aggressive material separate from his main persona. He has also performed and recorded under nicknames like «Der Grüne» and «B!Smoke», reflecting a career built around shifting personas and wordplay-driven identity.

Tracks such as «Süßes C», «Vanilla Sky», «Stoned durch den Wald» and «Eis essen» show his range across melodic, hook-driven songs and darker, battle-honed cuts, while collaborations and battle rounds throughout the VBT and JBB eras cemented his reputation within Germany's competitive rap community as both a lyrical technician and a genre-blurring artist willing to move between styles.
