*1980 DE
Hip-Hop/Rap
A.k.a. Jan Kleine MC Zuhälter

Architekt was born on December 26,1980 in Bielefeld, Germany. Initial attempts soon turn to a meticulous pursuit on technical intelligent and innovative rap music that Architekt is now known for. Years and years of hard work, a great deal of on-stage experience and his ravenous rage made Architekt to one of the most accomplished artists in the world of rap known today. It was in Hamburg in 2004, when Architekt, along with paranoia and his steadfast drive, started his career. There in 2005, he released his debut album “Richtfest”, together with Tackmann and DJ Johnson (Hiddentape/Royal Bunker/Groove Attack), not to forget the video release “Movement”, a true evergreen. He gives a proof of him being a provoking battle rapper in his “Report vom Straßenstrich” in his role of MC Zuhälter. At the same time, he is runner-up in light heavyweight boxing at the German university championships. In 2008 Architekt, together with Rasputin, releases “Gemetzeltes“ (Architekt-Musik/Finetunes). Architekt’s second album follows: “DJ Johnson präsentiert Architekts Klatsche“ (667 Dist. / Rough Trade Arvato). By the video of “Miss Ungewiss“, and the videosnippet “Kopfschuss – Hartes Brett ft. MB 1000“, he now also gains attention in Austria and Switzerland. High-flying in 2009 was his video release to “Wie ich bin“, he then was presented by Yavido as newcomer. In spring 2010 he shocks again as MC Zuhälter with his video release „MC Zuhälter 2“. In addition to this he releases two 16bars.de exclusive videos “Tyrannosaurus Rap“ and “Asozial“. Accurately at New Year’s Eve AggroTV publishes Architekt’s “Mc Zuhälter 2 RMX“ in the course of the third season of “Halt die Fresse“. On March 10, 2010 he becomes father of his daughter Line Kleine. In May 2011 Architekt goes on “Architektour“, and at the same time releases the “Architektour“-EP (Architekt-Musik/Finetunes), to which 16bars.de produces the video uncoupling “Bethelrap ft. Dray Durch“. More clips like “Steig ein“, and “R.Y.C.T.“ and the “Rap Your City Tour“ with Laas Unltd. follow at the end of the year. In 2012 Essah Entertainment takes over his booking and Architekt goes on “WARUM RAPPST DU?“ tour in 2012/13 with Kool Savas. Then comes the EP “Total Error“ (Architekt-Musik/Finetunes) with the videos from “Verloren“ and “Vergessene Welt“. On April 3, 2015 Architekt releases his third studio album "Architekt - HITS 2015" (Architekt-Musik/Finetunes) with the videos from "HITS", "Insel", "Verwahrloste Lines feat. Lakmann", "Partyalarm", "Schlaflied", "UA", "Hurricane", “Johnson" and "Steinbeisser" and Cold Life Entertainment organizes his "Architekt - TOUR 2015" in which Dray Durch performs. Architekt: “In my new album “Architekt - HITS 2015“, I did everything exactly the way I want it, so that I like listening to this one more than to any other album in the world. My big dream is that each and every person in this world orders an mp3 of it, so that I can build a castle for my daughter and me.“ On October 23, 2016 he gives a shout with the video single ”Architekt – Dr. WAHNSINN“ (Architekt-Musik/Finetunes) and rings in a new era. Still going strong…
