Ceza

Türk müzisyen Ceza, 1977 yılında doğdu. Gerçek adı Bilgin Özçalkan’dır. Birkaç televizyon programında Fatalrhmer adını kullanmasına rağmen, Ceza, onun müzik piyasasına girdikten sonraki sahne adı oldu. Müzik piyasasında çalışan pek çok insan, onu Türkiye’de ticari anlamda en başarılı rapçi olarak tanımlar.

Ceza’nın rap ve hiphop müziğe ilgisi çocukken başladı. Arkadaşlarından birçok çekme kaset ödünç alırdı. Profesyonel olarak rap müziği yapmaya başladıktan sonra, albümleri Türk radyolarında sıklıkla çalmaya başladı. İlk albümünde kendisine, vokalde kız kardeşi ve diğer ünlü Türk rapçilerinden Sagopa Kajmer, Sahtiyan ve Dr. Fuchs eşlik etmiştir. Nefret grubu altında Dr. Fuchs ile yaptığı çalışmalar, bugün Almanya’da oryantal hip hop olarak bilinen türün doğuşuna oldukça etki etmiştir. Bu yeni tür, Almanya’ya göç eden Türklerin, kendilerini o ve onun müzik stiliyle gittikçe daha çok özdeşleştirmeye başladığı zamanda ortaya çıkmıştır. . Bu, Türklerin Afro Amerikalı rapçileri reddetmesini ve Türkler tarafından yapılan rapin tercih edilme sürecini başlatmıştır.

Ceza, kariyeri boyunca pek çok ünlü Türk müzisyenle çalışmıştır, bunlardan birkaçı 2006 albümünde yer alan Sezen Aksu, Eko Fresh ve Samy Deluxe’tür. Ayrıca Alman müzisyen Afrob ve Amerikalı MC Tech N9’a da eşlik etmiştir.

Ceza

The Turkish musician Ceza was born in 1977.

His given name was Bilgin Ozcalkan, and Ceza became his stage name after he entered the music industry, although in some of his TV appearances he used the name Fatalrhmer.

Most people working in the music industry consider him to be the most commercially successful rapper in Turkey.

Ceza's interest in rap and hip hop music began in his childhood.

He borrowed a lot of mix tapes from his friends.

After he started making rap music professionally, his albums began to receive a lot of air time on Turkish radio stations.

His first album featured vocals by his sister, as well as by a number of other very well-known Turkish rappers like Sagopa Kajmer, Sahtiyan, and Dr. Fuchs.

His work with Dr. Fuchs under the band Nefret was extremely influential for the birth of what is now known as oriental hip hop in Germany.

This new genre largely came about as the Turks who immigrated to Germany began to identify with him and his style of music more and more.

This initiated the Turkish rejection of rap music created by African American rappers and the preference for rap created by Turks.

Ceza continued to work with many well-known Turkish musicians throughout his career, including on his 2006 album, which featured musicians like Sexen Aksu, Eko Fresh, and Samy Deluxe.

The music even featured the work of German musician Afrob and American MC Tech N9ne.
