Biografia
Ekrem Bora (born September 3, 1983), better known by his stage names Eko Fresh or Elektro Eko, is a German rapper of Turkish heritage. Born in Cologne and raised in Mönchengladbach by his single mother, a postal worker, he started rapping at 14 and left school in the tenth grade. He later worked in a shoe store. He was also featured by German Stampede Wrestling, a Cologne-based professional wrestling promotion, participating in events such as Night in Motion X, Southern Conflict II, X-Limits, Battlefield 2008, and Northern Night since 2007. In 2004, he sparked a feud with his track "Die Abrechnung," which criticized his former mentors Kool Savas, Optik Records, Bushido, and Aggro Berlin. The song caused controversy in the German rap community, leading to responses from various artists. Illmatic answered with "4Eko," Fler with "Hollywoodtürke," while Optik Records rappers Caput and Ercandize responded with "Ich geb n fuck" and "Verdanken," respectively. Eko Fresh has released ten studio albums, two collaborative albums, three EPs, three compilations, 18 singles (including three as a featured artist), and 45 free tracks.
