RAF Camora

RAF Camora, born Raphael Ragucci in 1984 in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, is an Austrian rapper and producer of Italian and Austrian descent. He moved to Vienna at age six and grew up in the Fünfhaus district, an environment that exposed him to French, Italian and Balkan-language influences that later shaped his lyrical style. He has performed under earlier names including RAF 3.0 and RAF0Mic before settling on RAF Camora.

After years of building a following within German-language rap, RAF achieved his breakthrough into the mainstream in 2016 with the collaborative album «Palmen aus Plastik», recorded with Bonez MC, driven largely by the hit single «Ohne mein Team». The record marked a turning point for German-language trap and rap, blending hard-hitting street rap with catchy, radio-ready hooks.

RAF Camora has become one of the most commercially successful German-language rappers, splitting his time between Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona and Dubai. In 2023 he was recognized as the most-streamed German-speaking artist across platforms, with over 4.5 billion streams. He has also authored two books, «Der Pakt» (2021) and «Dark Zen» (2023). His catalogue includes tracks like «Kokain», «Kontrollieren», «Primo», «Andere Liga», «Sag Nix», «Gotham City» and «Waffen».
