Hussein Akkouche[2] (born 15 January 1995), known professionally as Samra, is a Lebanese-German rapper based in Berlin.
Samra (then known as Samra45) first attracted attention on the German rap scene in the autumn of 2016 as a guest performer on Alpa Gun's album Zurück zur Straße – particularly on "Chaos", where he criticized 187 Strassenbande.
[13] Three months later, Samra was arrested in Prague after a police report of four armed men in a hotel; he and his crew were filming a music video.
Among weapons seized by the police were pistols, a machete, an RGD-5 hand grenade and an RPG-75 anti-tank rocket launcher; when they were discovered to be deactivated (rendered incapable of firing), they were returned.
[21][22] Samra's EP, Travolta, was released as part of Capital Bra's CB6 premium box set on 26 April.
