Short introduction

Raf Camora, real name Raphael Ragucci, is an Austrian musician and producer who started making music in his early childhood.

Since the rapper was born in the French-speaking part of Switzerland but moved to the Austrian capital Vienna at the age of 6, he has both German and French lyrics. In addition to the variety of languages, the artist’s career has also seen a multitude of groups and names.

However, Raf Camora celebrated his great successes in German-speaking countries with solo hits like Ohne mein Team and Palmen aus Plastik.

early life

Raf Camora was born in Switzerland to an Austrian father and an Italian mother. At the age of 6 his family moved to Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, the 15th district of Vienna, where he grew up from then on and managed school despite a few stumbling blocks.

He began rapping in his early teens. By the time he was 14, he was producing beats and writing lyrics. At that time they were still in French. A year later, the 15-year-old ran away from home and at the same time formed his first rap group with a friend. Together they wrote their songs in German. However, the group didn’t last long and broke up again after a year and a half after causing quite a stir in the Austrian rap scene.

Back home and back at school at 17, Raf Camora joined a French rap group and broke away from the German hip-hop scene.

Shortly thereafter, Raf met rapper Joshi Mizu, with whom he founded two rap groups with various other members. The breadth of these groups, Family Bizz, gained notoriety in Austria through participation in the Ö3 sound check and a song for the Life Ball. The group disbanded in 2006. That same year, Raf Camora’s street album Scandal, which he recorded and produced with Emirez, was released.

Career

From the release of the album Scandal, Raf Camora was in demand both as a musician and as a producer. He produced and featured for several German artists.

His first solo project was the pre-album street album Therapy, which was released in 2008 and served as a bridge to Raf Camora’s debut solo album, which was released on November 13, 2009.

This was followed in March 2010 by the album Artkore, which was created in collaboration with Nazar.

In early 2011, Raf Camora announced that his musical direction had changed and that from now on he wanted to live out his new style under the name RAF 3.0. The self-titled album that came out in 2012 was indeed a change in style, but still reached high positions in the German charts.

In July of the same year, Raf announced that he would release a new street album under the old name of Raf Camora. The mixtape Therapy After Death, released in September 2012, secured the artist a safe comeback under a new name.

In January 2013, Raf Camora took the next step and founded his own label called Indipendenza. In July of the same year, Raphael Ragucci released his second studio album called Hoch 2 under the name RAF 3.0, which again enjoyed great success on the charts.

In 2014, an album followed that was the result of a collaboration with Chakuza and received an Amadeus Award.
In 2015, Raf Camora announced an artistic hiatus, which ended in 2016 with the release of his fourth solo album. In the same year the album Palmen aus Plastik was released, which was created with Bonez MC.

A year later, in August 2017, Raf Camora released his fifth solo album Antrazit. At the same time he was working on a second collaboration album, Palmen aus Plastik 2, which was released in October 2018.

Career highlights

The highlights of Raf Camora’s career largely amount to awards, which he mostly won in 2016 after his breakthrough. These included important awards such as best national group at the hiphop.de Awards and Best National Album at the Juice Awards, both in 2016.

For Raf Camora personally, the biggest success was his breakthrough in Austria.

Although the artist repeatedly mentions his hometown in his songs, he remained unknown in Austria for a long time, which affected him personally. In the meantime, however, he is also known in his home country and gave a sold-out concert in the Wiener Stadthalle at the end of 2019. The associated tour was one of his great successes overall.

Famous quotes

Lyrics quote from RAF Camora – Adriana, Album: ZENIT
She rarely goes to parties and when she does, she’s the most beautiful in the club
Let her drive the Ferrari and I swear, brother, everyone is watching
Just want her, nobody else, to her Kylie Jenner is a bitch
We look at each other, understand each other silently, one look, one thought

RAF Camora lyrics quote – Tell ’em 2, Album: ZENIT
I’ve been doing what I’ve dreamed of since nine-eight
When my competitors weren’t even conceived

tips for success

Raf Camora has never hidden the fact that his early youth was difficult and riddled with various setbacks.
Many of his friends were in prison at the time, were deported or experienced other setbacks that drove them further into the spiral of crime and Vienna’s underworld. Raf has said of himself several times that he made the choice not to let himself be defeated, but to work through his problems in music. He found music as an outlet for his anger and sadness and thus with authentic lyrics to success and recommends exactly that to others.
