History

Barbara John and the Berlin Senate promoted in the 1980s in the Turkish hip-hop youth work projects. One of the first known Turkish rap crews Islamic Force would, for example, according to the migration researcher Mark Terkessidis " without institutional support in youth clubs etc. probably ( do ) not have been possible ."

Since German reunification and the first rising increase in xenophobic attacks in Germany recorded the German -Turkish hip- hop culture, whose motives are often compared to the black hip- hop movement in America, a special growth and success.
