The rapper with the raspy voice was one of the biggest newcomers in modern music history in Germany. His roots in the hardcore scene are still evident, especially live, as few rappers command the stage with as much energy as Benjamin Griffey, known by his stage name Casper. After his first mixtapes "DIE WELT HÖRT MICH" and "EXCLUSIVE MIXTAPE" (the latter released exclusively online) and his strong debut "HIN ZUR SONNE," he achieved a major breakthrough with the highly praised second album "XOXO," earning numerous awards from Gold Records to the Echo.
