A life between extreme poles

Nowadays arrest warrant is a fixture in the German rap scene. Born in 1985, Aykut Anhan has his roots in a Turkish-speaking household and sees himself as Alevi, Kurdish and Turkish. His mother comes from Giresun, his father from Tunceli and his difficult childhood has shaped him to this day.

There he began writing his first texts before moving to the Netherlands, where he lived in Amsterdam and Arnhem, reports Wikipedia.

After his return to Offenbach, his life changed suddenly. Starting out as a vehicle mechanic, his path soon led to music via a betting shop. He took his first steps in rap with the Echte Musik label and eventually became known for his contributions to the sampler “La Connexion”. With his debut album “Azzlack Stereotype” from 2010, he entered the charts and with his hit “Chabos knows who the Babo is” he established himself sustainably in the music business.

A cultural icon

The documentary ends with an emotional moment in which arrest warrant plays a song by Reinhard Mey that has achieved cult status among his fans.
