Veysel

Veysel Gelin is a German rapper of Kurdish-Turkish descent, based in Berlin and closely associated with the 187 Strassenbande collective alongside artists like Bushido and Gzuz. He built his reputation with a gritty, street-oriented style rooted in the language and imagery of Berlin's Neukölln district, blending German rap with Kurdish and Turkish cultural references. His stage name nods to his family background, and he has often used his music to reflect his own path from petty crime toward a stable career in hip hop.

Veysel gained wider recognition through collaborations within the 187 Strassenbande roster, appearing on collective projects and joint tracks that helped define the label's aggressive, trap-influenced sound in the mid-to-late 2010s. Songs such as «Yakuza» and «Bargeld» showcase his blunt, confrontational delivery paired with hard-hitting trap production, while «4 Blocks» ties into the German television series of the same name, for which he contributed music.

Beyond his solo work, Veysel has released collaborative tracks with fellow 187 artists, cementing his place in Germany's gangsta rap scene. His music is characterized by raw storytelling about street life, loyalty, and hustle, delivered in a rough, unpolished flow that resonates with fans of the German trap and gangsta rap subgenres.
