Cem Anhan (born 23 May 1991), known professionally as Capo or Capo Azzlack, is a German rapper of Kurdish and Zaza descent. He is the younger brother of the rapper Haftbefehl.[1]

Life and career

Anhan was born in Offenbach am Main, Germany. He grew up in a Turkish-speaking household, raised by a Turkish mother from Giresun and a Zaza–Kurdish father from the East Turkish province of Tunceli.[1] Anhan's father committed suicide when he was nine years old.[2] Anhan's older brother Aykut Anhan, known as Haftbefehl fled to Istanbul in 2006, because of an impending imprisonment.[3]

Haftbefehl released his second studio album Kanackis in February 2012.[4] Capo had a guest part on the song Party mit uns.[4] Capo released his first single as a lead artist, "Hater / Erzähl' ma" on 19 August 2013.[5] His first studio album, Hallo Monaco was released on 4 October 2013 and debuted on number 21 of the German album charts.[6] He went into a hiatus following his album release. In April 2017, he announced his second studio album, Alles auf Rot,[7] which was released on 7 July 2017. The album reached the top 10 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
