Bio

Serious Klein, born Kelvin Boakye in Hannover, Germany, to Ghanaian parents, is a rapper who came up through Germany's underground hip-hop scene. Fans also know him as Seri The King.

He started writing at 12 and recorded his first song at 14. He first performed as "key bee" and switched to Serious Klein in 2012, the same year his debut EP The Serious Outlook landed. The Introduction (2015) and Summer 03's Problem (2016) followed.

His debut album You Should've Known came out in 2018 on Majestic Casual. Along the way: two COLORS shows, a performance at the Esquire awards in Dubai in 2017, and the Family Tree / 555 collective with long-time producer Rascal.

Illmatic was the first record he ever bought. In 2024 he signed to Nas' label Mass Appeal.

On 13 November 2026 he released IT'S TOO LATE, his second album and his first full-length for Mass Appeal. Nine tracks, with features from Nana, Boj, Shaun Sky, Mark Lux, NOVA 9, Biirthplace, Zino Vinci and CARLA.
