Неміс рэпері, Сабрина Сетлур: Мансап жолы мен жетістіктері

German rapper

Sabrina Setlur (born 10 January 1974), formerly known as Schwester S., is a German rapper. Her debut was in 1995 under the guidance of 3p Records executive and mentor Moses Pelham, producer of her breakthrough single "Ja Klar". Following the drop of her pseudonym and a number one single, "Du liebst mich nicht", in 1997, a series of hit records established her position as Germany's "best known and highest selling female rap act" to date. Setlur is the only artist to date to have ever won three ECHO Awards for "Best National Female Artist". Her most recent album was released in 2007.

Setlur is the elder of two sisters born to Krishnan Setlur, a Kannadiga banker, and his wife Theresa, a Malayali nurse, in Frankfurt am Main, West Germany. She and her four years younger sister Yvonne were primarily raised in Bad Soden am Taunus, where Setlur became acquainted with future Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt members Thomas Hofmann and Moses Pelham in her high school years. Hofmann and Pelham asked her to contribute a verse to the early Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt track "Wenn Es Nicht Hart Ist". As she had never rapped before, Setlur reportedly hesitated; but soon accepted their invitation into the recording studio. In 1996, she won the ECHO award for "Best Female Artist". In addition, she began her own hip hop broadcast on the radio station hr3. After 3p's sudden major label change in 1997, Setlur released her second album Die neue S Klasse under her birth name in February of the same year. It debuted at #10 on the albums chart and spawned Setlur's first and only #1 single "Du liebst mich nicht",

Setlur channeled much of her heavily media discussed experiences into the production of her fourth studio album Sabs. Released in November 2003, the CD received a mixed reception from most professional music critics, with Laut calling it "a chavvy and antiquated [but] good rap album" and CDStarts declaring it a "insignificant [but] practiced comeback". Promoted by Setlur's engagement as a judge on the third installment of the German reality television series Popstars Das Duell (which created both the male quartet Overground and the girl group Preluders), the album spawned four moderately successful singles, including "Liebe", a collaboration with Glashaus and labelmate Franziska. Setlur used to contend for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul. Following several weeks of promotional appearances, Setlur entered the competition on 19 March 2004 with the album's second single, and although considered as a favourite by the media, Setlur failed to place within the top 5, eventually falling against singer Max Mutzke and his song "Can't Wait Until Tonight". In early 2005, she released a best of compilation titled 10 Jahre Sabrina Setlur. It features all of her singles (by then fifteen) as well as the album tracks "Ich bin raus" (taken from S ist soweit) and "Ohne Worte" (from Aus der Sicht und mit den Worten von ) but did not include new material. The song "Mein Herz", originally released on Sabs, was used as single to promote the album. Returning from yet another musical hiatus, Setlur's fifth studio album Rot was released on 24 August 2007.

In May 2016, veteran band Kraftwerk lost in German court a 19 year copyright infringement legal suit against Setlur, for her use of a two second sample from the song "Metal on Metal" on their 1977 album Trans Europe Express in her 1997 song "Nur mir". Later in July 2019, Kraftwerk won the legal case in the European Court of Justice.
