Fler

Patrick Losenský alias Fler, who was born on April 3, 1982 in West Berlin, has been one of Germany's hip-hop elite since the beginning of the new millennium. Even before his musical career began, he met his later companion and sometime nemesis Bushido. Together they recorded the collabo LP Carlo Cokxxx Nutten in 2002, in which the two caused a sensation in the rap circuit for the first time under the pseudonyms Frank White and Sonny Black. Fler's stylistic trademarks are an aggressive attitude, sharp-tongued rhymes and rough street reports, which also bear witness to a difficult youth in which the rapper grew up without a father. Now an established voice in the biz, Aggro Berlin signed him to in 2003. Neue Deutsche Welle, which is the first album to be released by the label in 2005, immediately reaches number 5 in the German charts. Tracks such as "NDW 2005" and "Nach eigenen Regeln" also achieve considerable chart positions as singles. Numerous disputes with scene colleagues such as Kollegah or Eko Fresh also repeatedly put the MC in the headlines outside of his artistic career. This also applies to the albums Fremd im eigenen Land and Fler, which were both in the top 10 of the German LP hit list in 2008 and 2009. After the two rappers reconciled after years of feuding, Carlo Cokxxx Nutten 2 was also released in 2009 - the second collabo album by Fler and Bushido, which reached the top 3 in Germany. With the solo works Im Bus ganz hinten (2011), Hinter blauen Augen (2012), Blaues Blut (2013) and Neue Deutsche Welle 2 (2014), Fler was able to repeat such successes year after year before his first opus, Keiner kommt mit mir klar (2015), reached number 1. Vibe, which the founder and owner of the independent label Maskulin dropped in 2016, even topped this triumph: The record not only takes first place in the German LP parade again, but this time also in Austria and Switzerland. Releases such as "Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt" and "Predigt" also enjoyed commercial success in the singles charts. in 2017, the rapper takes a short solo break, but collaborates with fellow hip-hop artist Jalil. The result of the collaboration is Epic , which once again becomes a number 1 hit in Germany. The same applies to Colucci, Atlantis and Widder, which are released in 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively. In the years that followed, several collabo albums were released under his alias Frank White, including Cancel Culture Nightmare (2022 together with Sultan Hengzt), Welle Vol. 1 (2023 together with Hengzt & Rosa) and, in 2025, the album 5 together with Baba Saad.
