His hometown is Mönchengladbach. He used to be in a relationship with the singer Valezka.

Ekrem grew up in Mönchengladbach and used to go to school until he stopped to pursue his musical interests. He grew up with his mother. After he left the school he had no profession so he worked in a shoe-shop. There he met for the first time the well-known rapper Kool Savas. Kool Savas was his mentor so he could early release his first LP on Royal Bunker, whose name was Jetzt kommen wir auf die Sachen. After this LP, Kool Savas, Eko Fresh, Valezka and Melbeatz founded Optik Records. There Eko Fresh released his 2nd LP König von Deutschland (King of Germany). Then, he fell in love with Valezka and that was not okay for Savas so Eko Fresh and Valezka left the Label and released their Songs on Sony BMG. There he released 3 LPs: Ich bin jung und brauche das Geld, Dünya Dönüyor - Die Welt dreht sich feat. Azra of Royal Bunker and L.O.V.E. featuring his Girlfriend Valezka.

50 Cent dissed Eko Fresh's Label "German Dream" on the Song Das Urteil by Kool Savas:

"Ey yo whats up. It's the kid 50 Cent. You are now tuned in to my man Kool Savas. Optik Boom. Destroy the German Dream, ya heard? G-G-G-G-G-Unit".

After approaching him on the subject, Eko Fresh reacted irrationally, trying to pull of a "rebel-stunt".

Eko Fresh and "Das Urteil"

Kool Savas replied with the most infamous disstrack in German HipHop History, entitled "Das Urteil" (The Judgement), with which he hoped to put an end to his former apprentice. This created a rift between Eko Fresh's "German Dream Team" and Kool Savas' renowned Optik Records.

Skit
Eko Fresh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Entschuldigung, Entschuldigung, kann ich Ihnen vielleicht was zu trinken anbieten?

Ey, warum hast du mich jetzt geweckt, Alter?
Man ich hab' von voll der geilen Melodie geträumt, warte mal, warte, warte
Ah, ich habe sie vergessen
Alter, weißt du wie viel wert sowas ist?
Das war ne Million One Time in your Lifetime Melodie
Was machen wir den jetzt?

Entschuldigen Sie, was, was überhaupt für eine Melodie?

Ja, ne Melodie
Ich bin Musiker
Musik, Geld, Geld, Musik
Ich will jetzt den Vorgesetzen sprechen

Beruhigen Sie sich

Wo ist der Pilot? Pass auf, warte mal, warte mal ganz kurz,
Ich glaube es fällt mir wieder ein
Warte, warte
Mach mal die Melodie

Nein, nein, nein

Ja, so ungefähr
Ok, ok, Moment wie ging die nochmal?

Alles klar, alles klar

Ich will raus,
Können Sie rechts ran fahren?

Overall Meaning

The song Skit by Eko Fresh starts with a conversation between two people where one person wakes up the other asking for a drink. However, the second person was dreaming about a melody which he forgot after waking up. The first person then asks why he was woken up, and the second person explains that he had dreamed about a million-dollar melody. He further explains that he is a musician and that music means money to him. He requests to speak to the boss and asks the pilot to stop the vehicle.

The conversation continues, and the second person recalls the melody and asks the first person to play it. After a bit of hesitation, the first person plays the melody, and they both get excited. The second person then requests to be let out, and the skit ends.

The lyrics seem to be a parody of the music industry and how some musicians prioritize making money over the art form. The second person in the conversation represents such a musician who is focused on money rather than the passion for music.
