Boondawg

Boondawg, born Armand Nshogoza on July 30, 1999, in Düsseldorf, Germany, is a rising rapper and singer-songwriter known for his distinct fusion of Hip-Hop and Trap.

The mixtape struck a chord with listeners, leading to the release of Riot (Deluxe) later that year and Signs in 2019. His growing discography includes standout tracks like 4 Out of 4, Remember Me, Lost Soul, and 4088.

Boondawg has also collaborated with artists like Yun Mufasa, prodbytwelve, Frizzo, and Endzone, expanding his creative reach. He’s taken his music to the stage at various venues and festivals, including Cologne Music Week in 2024, where his live performance left a lasting impact.
