Yin Kalle is the workaholic of German rap. With his new song “Baby Ja”, Yin Kalle released 16 singles in 2020 alone. But you can see why Yin Kalle is currently one of the most polarizing rappers in the PULS music analysis. Who is Yin Kalle? Yin Kalle is in his early 20s and, along with Pashanim, Symba and BHZ, belongs to the generation of the new Berlin rap sound. But Yin Kalle took his first steps in the rap game in 2016 - back then as Karl or KRL. From 2017 onwards he has been on the road as Yin Kalle and since 2019 he has been working with his friend and producer KazOnDaBeat. The joint EPs “Kalle X Kaz” and “Kalle X Kaz 2” were largely responsible for the hype surrounding the Yin Kalle sound in 2019. The KazOnDaBeat tape “Mood Swingz” also features KazOnDaBeat and Yin Kalle’s biggest hit to date, “Lila Racks”. The Yin Kalle trademark sound Yin Kalle describes his sound as “German Trap”. Yin Kalle’s role model is clearly the US trap sound of Playboi Carti, Lil Pump, Smokepurpp and co., plus Yin Kalle’s goofy, slightly dragged-out flow, which always comes with a punky, give-no-shit attitude. Yin Kalle is not about sophisticated rhyming techniques, crazy productions or storytelling – the vibe is above all else for Yin Kalle. Why Yin Kalle polarizes Yin Kalle not only stands out because of his weird persona, but also because of his excessive drug and medication consumption. There is hardly a song by Ying Kalle that is not about Xanax, benzos or codeine, and you can also experience Yin Kalle up close and personal while he is consuming drugs on his Insa livestreams. Although he openly addresses the dark side of addiction there, at the same time he celebrates this drug lifestyle in front of his fans in his music videos. Yin Kalle's new tape is coming out soon. It remains to be seen whether Yin Kalle will slowly get the hang of drug talk on it. What do you think of Yin Kalle and are you already up for “Kalle alone at home”?
