Biography
Biography
Savaş Yurderi (born 10 February 1975), known by his stage name Kool Savas, is a German rapper. Along with Taktlo$$, he formed the highly influential German rap duo Westberlin Maskulin (1997–2000). He was also a founding member of the German rap crew Masters of Rap in 1996. Savas is considered one of the most successful German rappers.
In 2012, he collaborated in "Xavas", a duo formation with Xavier Naidoo, a German soul and R&B singer-songwriter and actor in the album Gespaltene Persönlichkeit. The two had already worked together on a number of other releases.
Early life
Yurderi was born on 10 February 1975 in Aachen, Germany, the son of a German mother and a Turkish father from Çorum. Savaş returned to Turkey with his family when he was one year old. His father was sentenced to five years in prison in Turkey due to political problems.
He later returned to Germany with his mother. His father also returned with them. They were then settled in Berlin. He currently lives in Berlin with his wife Maria Yurderi and their child.
Essah Entertainment (2010–present)
His 2011 album Aura included a single with the same name and a song featuring Xavier Naidoo, titled LMS 2012. In May 2012, Savas announced a collaborative album with Xavier Naidoo titled Gespaltene Persönlichkeit under the alias "Xavas" scheduled for release in Germany on 21 September 2012. The track list was announced in August 2012, containing a total of 15 tracks
