LX

LX, born Alexander Hutzler in 1986, is a German rapper from Hamburg and one of the founding members of the collective 187 Strassenbande, one of the most influential crews in modern German street rap. Alongside acts like Gzuz and Bonez MC, LX helped shape the aggressive, hedonistic sound that defined the group's rise, blending trap-influenced production with raw, dialect-heavy German lyrics rooted in the realities of Hamburg's harbor districts.

LX's career has been marked by legal troubles, including a lengthy prison sentence that was set to run until the end of 2017; he was granted supervised release starting in September 2016. His music often reflects this biography directly, mixing autobiographical street narratives with the party-oriented anthems typical of the 187 sound. Tracks such as «Haifisch Nikez» and «Compton» showcase both his gritty storytelling and his ear for hooks.

As part of 187 Strassenbande, LX contributed to redefining German rap in the 2010s, helping the crew build a loyal fanbase through mixtapes, collaborative singles, and a distinctive visual and sonic identity. His work sits at the intersection of gangsta rap authenticity and mainstream chart success, influencing a generation of German-language rappers.
