Makko is one of the most influential figures of a new generation of German rap. With his distinctive deep voice, laid-back flow, and unmistakable aesthetic somewhere between skate spot, big city, and studio, he has earned himself a permanent place in the scene. Growing up between Brandenburg and Berlin, skateboarding continues to shape his sound and attitude to this day, giving him an unaffected and authentic sound. With “Nachts wach” and the Undercover EP, Makko has shown how effortlessly he shifts genre boundaries. Over 500 million streams and iconic live moments mark his breakthrough. In 2026, Makko will bring this momentum to the DEICHBRAND Festival. He is an artist for a generation that lives nonconformity rather than performing it.
