Haftbefehl Bazzazian, known professionally as Haftbefehl, is a German rapper of Kurdish-Zaza descent from Offenbach am Main, active since the late 2000s. His work is rooted in German hip hop and gangsta rap, incorporating trap, cloud rap and influences from Turkish, Kurdish and Middle Eastern musical textures and street vernacular. Haftbefehl is noted for his gritty, slang-rich lyricism, confrontational delivery and frequent use of multilingual expressions and neologisms that reflect urban migrant experiences. His albums and mixtapes have contributed to the mainstreaming of grime-tinged trap and a raw, autobiographical storytelling style within contemporary German rap.
