“Skin like fur” by APSILON chosen as the best album of the year

The Berlin rapper APSILON gets the Soundcheck Award for the best album in 2024 for his album “Haut and fur”. This was decided by a four -person jury of Radio Eins and Tagesspiegel on Tuesday. The musician, born in Schöneberg in 1997 and grew up in Moabit, whose bourgeois name Arda Yolci is, sat down against the also nominated Beth Gibbons (“Lives Outgrown”), The Cure (“Songs of a Lost World”) and Beyoncé (“Cowboy Carter “) through.

“His texts are unique in Germany,” says “Soundcheck” presenter Andreas Müller for the jury. In songs such as “suitcase” or “Baba”, the apse from a Turkish family gives an insight into a world that is still hardly perceived by the majority society. “He describes incredibly precisely what pain it means if you are still exposed to after all the decades, which, as fists made of metal, appear, as it says in a song.”

The question of how to build self -love under these circumstances runs through the entire album. It is bitter, according to Müller, that the songs, some of which were produced by APSILON’s younger brother Arman, had once again gained its topicality due to the current election campaign debates for migration. “It is talked about by contingents, influx, limitation, it is about humans. And this is a deeply human plate. “
