Turkish Rap legend Patron strikes back with his recently released track MIRRMIRR, igniting a Rap War on the New Generation

Released on March 07th, 2025, this Hip Hop/Rap track is a bold, unapologetic broadcast that aims at the entire new rap scene, delivering a lyrical smackdown reminiscent of Kendrick Lamar’s recent fearless attitude. With razor-sharp verses, an upbeat tempo, and an oriental atmosphere reflecting Turkish and Balkan styles, ‘MIRRMIRR‘ showcases the talents of an old master challenging the younger generation, setting the stage for what promises to be the beginning of a fiery Rap War.

Patron doesn’t hold back in this release. His lyrics are designed to grab listeners’ attention and propel the song’s infectious energy far and wide. Produced by Slavic Boy, ‘MIRRMIRR’ caught Patron’s ear with its unique vibe and serves as a direct response to the viral track ‘HAVHAVHAV’ (dog barking) by Turkish artist Lvbel C5. After ‘HAVHAVHAV’ took off among young fans, who even started barking along, Patron crafted ‘MIRRMIRR’ as an alternative, flipping the script with a cat sound. Emphasizing a ‘Big Cat’ motif both in the lyrics and on the cover, he positions himself as a formidable counter to the barking dogs of the new guard. A veteran of the game, he proves his mastery with a track that’s as much a critique as it is a celebration of his enduring skill, signaling his intent to reclaim his throne in the ever-evolving world of Rap.

The song also draws inspiration from the playful energy young people have been sharing on TikTok lately. Known for his serious and emotional style, Patron steps into a lighter, more entertaining mode with ‘MIRRMIRR’, aiming to both have fun and captivate listeners. Beyond the surface-level swagger, the track doubles as a personal reckoning. Patron openly reflects on his relationships with key figures in the Turkish music industry, Sagopa Kajmer, Ebo, Ben Fero, and Lvbel C5, addressing past wrongs done to him and owning up to his own missteps. These tabloid-worthy connections add an extra layer of intrigue, ensuring the song hooks audiences on multiple levels.

At 37, Patron is a towering figure in Turkish Rap, with over two decades of experience shaping the genre. One of the pioneers who brought Rap to prominence in Turkey, he emerged from the gritty streets of old-school Hip Hop and freestyle culture. His emotional compositions have resonated deeply, earning him hits with over 100 million streams. Despite his monumental success, recent years have been challenging. The pandemic took a toll, and Patron has struggled to connect with younger audiences, hampered by a lack of modern advertising savvy and social media presence. For the past seven years, he’s run his own independent company, steering his career on his terms. But with a core fanbase eagerly awaiting his resurgence, he’s determined to make his music chart-topping again.
