On 28 October 2025, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary East Coast rap will take the stage at Cassiopeia in Berlin: Chuck Strangers. Initially known as a producer and rapper in the orbit of Joey Bada$$ and the Pro Era collective, he has long since carved out his own niche with a series of solo releases. His sound blends raw, sample-driven aesthetics with introspective lyrics about personal struggle, mental health and societal realities.
Brooklyn rap – raw and real
Live, Chuck Strangers delivers the full range: gritty and energetic, yet also thoughtful and narrative-driven. He draws on the traditions of New York boom bap – and pushes them forward in his own way. If you’re curious about the current sound of the East Coast, this is a night not to miss.
