After a 13-year break, independent German rap artist Ronnex returns with “Echo im Äther,” which was released on October 3, 2025. Ronnex, who is from Hanau, has a strong BoomBap background and a lyrical style that combines attitude, humor, and honesty.
The song is a dark BoomBap track that examines digital coldness and alienation in the era of bots, algorithms, and filtered faces. Ronnex maintains the sound sharp and direct while challenging genuine human connection in a world where data streams are incessant.
Phil Tyler produced the instrumental, which exudes unadulterated BoomBap authenticity. Dave Kutch’s mastering in New York gives the song a remarkable clarity and contemporary depth, while Tim Ahmed’s vocal assistance contributes a jazzy flavor.
“Echo im Äther” effectively combines playful shots, incisive bars, and classic rap aesthetics while keeping a distinct goal in mind. Ronnex demonstrates with his comeback project ALOHA that genuine expression—skillfully written lyrics, groove, and character—never goes out of style.
“Echo im Äther” is a noteworthy addition to the 2025 rap scene for fans of BoomBap, conscious rap, and daring lyrical storytelling.
