Ensar Albayrak, performing as Eno, is a central figure in the second wave of German trap and melodic rap. Emerging from Wiesbaden and initially gaining traction through social media and a partnership with Xatar's 'Alles oder Nix Records', Eno quickly became a chart-topping force.
His sound identity is built on the '97bpm' aesthetic, a reference to his birth year and a specific rhythmic pocket that favors melodic accessibility over the boom-bap traditions of previous generations. His career arc shows a transition from raw street rap to a more refined, luxury-oriented pop-rap style, characterized by collaborations with major European artists like MERO and Luciano. Critically, he is viewed as a master of the 'hook', often providing the melodic anchor for the German rap scene's biggest hits. His influence is seen in the widespread adoption of his specific vocal cadence and the 'glossy trap' production style that dominated the German charts in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
