Prinz Pi

On October 12, 2026, Prinz Pi will take the stage at the Batschkapp in Frankfurt am Main. The Berlin rapper, born Friedrich Kautz, has been shaking up the German-language scene since the late 1990s. Under his early alias Prinz Porno he started out with battle rap and incisive punchlines, before — from Neopunk onward — adopting the name Prinz Pi and shifting his focus to narrative, reflective lyrics. His tracks blend everyday observations, social commentary and numerous cultural references with productions ranging from alternative hip‑hop to pop‑rap.

Milestones in his discography such as !Donnerwetter!, Rebell ohne Grund, Kompass ohne Norden, pp=mc², Im Westen nix Neues and Nichts war umsonst mark this progression; occasionally he revives his Prinz Porno alter ego, for example on Teenage Mutant Horror Show 2. Live, he unites these two poles: gritty battle‑rap energy meets narrative songwriting, dense imagery and catchy hooks. A set that sketches his catalogue in broad strokes and makes audible the span from underground beginnings to accessible, melodic moments.
