Ikkimel, also known as Melina Gaby Strauß, is a German rapper from Berlin-Tempelhof, known for provocative lyrics and a blend of hyperpop, Jersey club, and trance/house elements. What makes Ikkimel distinctive as a live act is her bold and unapologetic stage presence, confronting laddishness and playing with role clichés through ironic and clever lyrics delivered with Berlin snark.
