Rapper Ebow on ‘Komplexität,' sisterhood and standing up for herself

Munich-born rapper Ebow has been performing for
over a decade, having broken into the
male-dominated world of hip-hop as a
teenager.


We caught up with Ebow about her musical influences, sharing a
stage with other women, and her latest album, “Komplexität” (in
English, that’s “Complexity”). To Ebow, this release symbolized a
major step in breaking away from the influence of older male
figures in the industry. “At a certain point I stopped believing
in my own aesthetics, my own style, because people kept telling
me that…we should do it differently…I had to think about who I
wanted to be surrounded with,” Ebow says.
