444_Bonna

444_Bonna came out of Bonn, Germany in the early 2010s, an alternative hip-hop group led by rapper and producer Bonzer. They built a following with raw lyrics and live shows before things shifted in 2016. That year they put out the single "Wow," which caught on widely and pushed them to a larger audience.

Bonzer handles much of the writing and production, with rappers Shnell and Qaz rounding out the group. Their debut album "444_Forever" arrived in 2018, mixing hip-hop with rock and electronic touches. Later records like "Play Loud" and "The Golden Age" kept that experimental approach going.

Their lyrics often address social issues, which has drawn both support and criticism over time. They've worked with other German artists like Marteria and Cro, but the core sound stays anchored by Bonzer's production and the group's collective delivery.
