Ezhel

Ankara-born rapper and singer Ezhel brings his hybrid rap to London at O2 Forum Kentish Town on 18 October 2026. Raised in Turkey’s urban scene, he built his sound at the crossroads of rap, trap and dancehall, with shades of reggae and echoes of Anatolian and arabesk melodies. His flow shifts between melodic hooks and quick-fire bars, set over moody, bass-forward productions that play on tension and groove.

Since his debut album Müptezhel in 2017, Ezhel has moved between Ankara and Berlin, multiplying collaborations and expanding his palette. With Ufo361, he released the joint projects Lights Out (2019) and LOLO (2023); Made in Turkey (2020) pushed further into melodic trap and pop-leaning refrains. A steady run of singles and features with artists like Murda and Summer Cem has kept his catalog in constant motion.

On stage, Ezhel navigates everyday city life, intimate relationships and social contradictions, switching from smoky atmospheres to dancehall swing without losing the thread. Expect a set that connects his early tracks to recent collabs, carried by a voice that blends raw cadence and tuneful refrains.
