Biography

D-Irie was born to his father, a Ghana reggae artist, and his German mother. After his father was imprisoned, D-Irie grew up alone with his mother. He was arrested for attempting to break into a shop, but was too young to be tried as an adult.

He began his rap career in 2001, after he met the Berlin rapper Big Sal and the break dancer Crazy B., who encouraged him for his talent. When they founded their Berlin-Wedding music label Shok-Muzik in 2004, they signed D-Irie and he appeared on the label's compilations. In August 2005, he released the album Doppeltes Risiko with label mate Crackaveli.

In 2006, D-Irie released his first single, "Was jetzt los!?!", which was also included in his debut album, Live Dabei, released in February 2007. The single was promoted by Warner Music Group. After the release of the music video in October 2006, it reached #1 in MTV's public charts. The song caused controversy for dissing Aggro Berlin.[1] In early 2007, Fler responded on his mixtape Airmax Muzik with the tracks "Pop-Muzik" and "Das is los!". The latter features Alpa Gun, who released two more diss tracks, "Ich bin am Zug" and "Schluss mit U(n)fuk", dissing rapper Ufuk Sahin of Shok Muzik.
