Ercan Kocer (born April 12, 1978), better known as Ercandize is a German rapper of Turkish ancestry and a certificated economist.

In his youth, he wrote graffiti until he started the rap crew ABS with Sedat and Daiker around 1993.

In 1999, ABS released their first single, "08-15/Focus", which was chosen as 12" of the month by the German hip hop magazine Juice and in mid-99, the first record contract was signed.

Features with well-known German artists like Plattenpapzt, Too Strong, RAG and Roey Marquis as well as two more singles followed until ABS' debut album Kinderspiel - Leichter getan als gesagt was published.

Consequently, Ercandize was signed to Optik Records and his first solo album Verbrannte Erde was released in April 2007.
