In the artist's words:

FRANKFURT'S FINEST

Why OG LU stands out

OG LU has an unusually deep, dark voice that is strongly influenced by Frankfurt street rap. She takes her inspiration from Celo & Abdi, Xatar, Hanybal and Schwesta Ewa, among others, and is thus clearly in the tradition of political, raw rap from the Main metropolis. Her songs mix toughness, humor and a feminist attitude; she explicitly classifies herself as an artist who deliberately offends and breaks with male-dominated expectations.

Live energy: OG LU on stage

According to her own statements, she has placed particular emphasis on live performances since the beginning. For fans of energetic, unadorned rap shows, she is a real experience.
