life and career
Benjamin Koeberlein was born in Würzburg, Bavaria and moved with his mother to the south of the USA at the age of nine , where he first came into contact with rap music. At the age of 13 he returned to Germany and initially lived with his mother in a women's refuge . Three years later Koeberlein took first demo tapes , which he sent throughout Germany. As a result, the Berlin rap duo Hecklah & Coch noticed him and recorded the song Mein Block with him , which appeared on Juice CD # 35. Several underground mixtapes and guest contributions on albums by various German hip-hop artists followed.
In 2011 the rapper Sido contacted him and asked him for support in his casting show Blockstars in Austria. Koeberlein received a wildcard and became part of the 3punkt5 winning band. Back in Germany, the rapper concentrated on his solo career and signed a contract with the independent label Wolfpack Entertainment in 2013 , through which he published his debut album Macher oder Träumer that same year .
A year later , the collaboration album 100% Macher was released , which Koeberlein recorded together with the rapper Pedaz and with which he reached number 75 in the German charts for the first time. On October 9, 2015, the rapper's second solo album was released with Machermodus , which reached rank 83 in the charts.
On March 3, 2017, his third solo album, JOOJ , was released, which reached position 72 in the German charts.
In 2019 he changed his stage name from Blut & Klassen to Beka. After being featured on Sido's album Ich und kein Maske , he also accompanied Sido on his Thousand Tattoos Tour .
