Show Notes
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.
