biography

origin

Bosca grew up in Wiesbaden as the son of a mathematician and a teacher together with two sisters.

Musical career

Born in Wiesbaden, Bosca started rapping as a teenager. He produced three mixtapes with the Ultrakaos crew and dedicated several songs to the Ultras of Eintracht Frankfurt , which were published on the group's website. Here he got to know the like-minded rapper Vega , with whom he became personally friends and continues to work regularly to this day.

After training as an audio engineer, he acquired the necessary equipment for a musical career and soon published the collab mixtape Kinokarte together with the rapper Face , which was produced entirely by Johnny Pepp . He then worked on his debut album Fighting Society , which was released in 2011 on Vegas' newly founded label Friends of Nobody , which Bosca also joined. Again, the beats were mainly produced by Johnny Pepp. He finally released the follow-up album, Solange es hilft , in 2013 and thus reached number 10 in the German album charts.

In January 2016 he and Vega released the collab album Alte Liebe rostet nicht , which entered the German charts at number 4 and became his greatest success to date.

In January 2017 his third solo album Cobra 3 was released , which entered the German album charts at number 5 and also placed in the top 100 in Austria and Switzerland. The title alludes to the Italian firecracker, which bears the same name.
