Biography

ENGLISH:

Daniel Kretschmar (b. September 19, 1971), better known by his stage-name D-Flame, is an Afro-German hip hop and reggae musician of Jamaican origin.

Biography:
D-Flame grew up in Frankfurt where he encountered racism at an early age, often witnessing how his mother was insulted in spiteful fashion. His childhood experiences alongside his literary encounters with Black Power icons like Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, shaped his outlook on life strongly. He grew up with Jamaican reggae and African American soul music. He encountered hip hop music at a young age, in the early 1980s when he first heard the Sugarhill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight at a party. From then he was captivated, participating in the mid-1980s breakdance wave in Germany and worshiping films like Wild Style.

He spent many years rapping in the rough Frankfurt underground, where he flourished, thanks to the support of his mentor, Rebel X of the Black Angel Music, in 1991 even being named best rapper of the city. He was a member of two noteworthy Frankfurt groups, namely Foreign Accent and Asiatic Warriors. The latter, aside from D-Flame, comprised Azanin (aka Azad), Combad and A-Bomb. They released an EP, called Told Ya, which was to remain the only one, as the group split up in 1994. That year he traveled to Jamaica, where he came in contact with the local reggae and dancehall scene, inspiring him to work with established German reggae soundsystems Soundquake from Bielefeld and the renowned Pow Pow Movement from Cologne.

    Die wohl markanteste Stimme der deutschen Hip Hop/ Reggae Szene. "Immer noch" als Fortsetzung zu "Sie macht mich glücklich" ist einfach so genial chillig

    Mehr als Musik ist die absolute Hmyne an den Hip Hop! Schade, dass man von Flame vor und nach dem BuViSoCo so wenig hört :/ Aber er geht ja mit Dynamite Deluxe auf Tour!

    Basstard ist hammer. Daniel-X EIne Schwarze Deutsche Geschichte eigentlich ein Meisterwerk. Ich liebe das Album mittlerweile viel mehr als beim realese vor 5 Jahren. Man lernt manche alben erst sehr spät zu schätzen wenn man sieht was für sachen heutzutage realesed werde.
