From the Soulful Streets of Baden-Württemberg, MG86 Revitalizes Hip-Hop with His Grit and Truth
Marcel, known artistically as MG86, isn’t just another rapper; he’s a storyteller whose life experiences paint a vivid tapestry of society through sharp lyrics and infectious beats. Stationed in Germany’s culturally rich Baden-Württemberg, MG86 brings back authenticity to the rap scene, a stark contrast to what he perceives as today’s overly soft and superficial trends.
His latest hit, “Listenhunde Song,” effortlessly bridges the gap between old-school resilience and modern-day production, creating a masterpiece that resonates with a broad audience. As a music curator at PopHits.Co, I’ve seldom encountered music that strikes such a perfect balance between raw emotion and polished artistry. MG86’s work is, without doubt, epic.
Comparing him to giants in political hip-hop like Immortal Technique or the raw essence of trap seen with artists like Travis Scott, MG86 stands his ground with unique dignity.

His refusal to shy away from life’s heavier themes – politics, the soul’s complexities, and genuine street narratives – paired with his knack for laying them over hard-hitting beats makes his music not just enjoyable but thought-provoking.
“Listenhunde Song” in particular, is a testament to his journey, filled with intricate rhymes and beats that could easily become a staple for anyone’s work out playlist. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist by scrolling down the page.
His approach to music is almost therapeutic. “Rap is my medication,” MG86 declares, highlighting his commitment to expressing his innermost thoughts without censorship. This openness is refreshing, allowing listeners to connect with his music on a deeply personal level. In a world where pop culture often sanitizes and dilutes real experiences, MG86 pours his undiluted self into every line, inviting us into his world with stark honesty.
MG86 prides himself on bringing more creativity into the rap game – a feat he accomplishes with flying colours. Through “Listenhunde Song,” he dives deep into topics others might find taboo, proving that real art knows no boundaries. Europe culture, with its rich history and diversity, serves as the perfect backdrop for his lyrical explorations, blending seamlessly with hip-hop’s intrinsically political roots to create something truly groundbreaking.
