Ezhel

On 23 October 2026, Ezhel brings his hybrid rap to Opium in Dublin. Born in Ankara and now moving between Turkey and Berlin, the rapper has shaped a sound at the crossroads of trap, rap and dancehall, with melodic hooks, rapid-fire flows and shades of Anatolian and arabesk textures. His breakthrough came with the 2017 album Müptezhel, followed by Made in Turkey in 2020, projects that opened a lane between street rap and more pop-leaning refrains. Along the way he tightened bonds with the German-Turkish scene, teaming up with Ufo361 for Lights Out in 2019 and LOLO in 2023, and stacking features with Murda, Summer Cem and others.

On stage, Ezhel navigates moody beats and bouncy rhythms, switching from sung lines to clipped rhymes without losing the thread. His lyrics draw on daily urban life, relationships and the push-pull of social realities, giving the set both immediacy and a darker backdrop. In Dublin, expect a setlist that roams across his catalog, from early online tracks to joint projects and recent singles, tracing a path that mirrors his journey between Ankara, Berlin and a constantly buzzing online space.
