Harris
Under the name Harris, Oliver Maurice Harris has developed from Berlin-Kreuzberg a career rooted in German rap, with a direct, festive style often oriented toward the club. Born in 1977 to a German mother and an American father, Harris first appeared in the 1990s as part of the duo Spezializtz with Dean Dawson, a formation active on the German-language hip-hop scene and that performed at festivals like splash!, HipHop Open and Rock am Ring. As a solo artist, Harris released the album Dirty Harry in 2003, then teamed up with Sido for the project Deine Lieblings Rapper, from which Dein Lieblings Album was released in 2005. This collaboration extended his regular presence in Berlin rap of the 2000s, between party-rap tracks, mixtapes and appearances on various collective projects. Harris returned with Der Mann im Haus in 2010, before continuing more sporadically with singles and the record Tait Eita in 2023. Alongside music, Harris has also worked in television, radio and film, notably as an actor and presenter, which situates his career beyond studio recording alone.
