Rap music has enjoyed a steadily growing level of popularity in Turkey in recent years. These days you can hear the rhythm of rap on the street, in the background of television series, in movies and on many musicians’ albums. And when the spotlight moves to rap in Turkey, one of the first names to come to mind is Ceza.

This artist, who has signed off on many hit singles, duets and albums, has been out of the public eye and living in Germany during the past year. But recently, Ceza has returned to Turkey, this time with what looks set to be a new extremely popular album.

Ceza’s new duet album, on which he collaborated with the German-based Turkish rapper Killa Hakan, is called “Bomba Plak” (The Hit Record). The duets on this album refer in their lyrics to many remarkable subjects, from war to racism, from relations based on personal interest to corruption, and even to the abuse of women. And despite the fact that rap music’s roots are in the US, even American rappers are getting their fair share of criticism in this album.
