Sierra Kid is an introspective, down-to-earth rapper from the northwestern German town of Emden. Born
Manuel Jungclassen, he developed his rhyming style by studying recordings of German artists such as
Kool Savas and
MoTrip, as well as those of
Drake. A video he uploaded to YouTube in early 2013 took a while to catch on, but some contemporary rappers took notice, as did the Indipendenza label, who eventually signed its maker. Kopfvilla,
Sierra Kid's debut EP, was released near the end of that year. The album
Nirgendwer followed in 2014. At the time of its release,
Sierra Kid was still a teenager. ~ Andy Kellman
