Bernas Avşar (born 23 July 1980), known professionally as Bero Bass, is a German rapper of Kurdish origin based in Cologne.
Biography
[edit]In July 2009, Avşar was imprisoned after furiously attacking a 26-year-old male with a knife. He was awaiting his trial in prison before being released on bail in December 2009.[1]
While he was in jail, his long-time friend OJ Kingpin, with whom he performed by the name La Honda as a rap duo, left the rap business, claiming gangster rap has no future and that they never earned any money from rapping.
Bero Bass passionely raps about Kurdistan in nearly all of his tracks, always saying 'Biji Kurdistan' (translating to Long Live Kurdistan) or waving Kurdish flags in his music videos.
Bero Bass released a track named Blick Richtung Sonne together with Bonn-based rapper Xatar and the Kurdish folk singer Şivan Perwer.[when?]
