Neromun
Some may still remember Neromun as Negroman or as part of the duo Luk&Fil – but the German rapper has long since found a voice of his own. Few artists process personal experience through lyrics as skilfully as he does – profound, yet never overthought. Over wistful hip-hop beats, Neromun shares thoughts and emotions without slipping into sentimentality.
Literary influences like Else Lasker-Schüler, Samuel Beckett, and Maryse Condé flow subtly through his work – never preachy, always understated. He moves fluidly between rapping and singing, musically shaped by artists like J Dilla and Frank Ocean – musicians who, like him, aren‘t afraid to show vulnerability. It’s this openness that defines Neromun’s sound – raw, honest, emotionally complex – and all the more relatable because of it.
