Denis Mamadou Gerhard Cuspert (October 18, 1975October 16, 2015), also known by his stage name, Deso Dogg, was an Afro-German militant Islamist and former rapper.〔Mekhennet, Souad. "Osama’s name flows in our blood: Ex-rapper" ''The New York Times'' at ''Indian Express''. Friday 2 September 2011. ( 1 ). Retrieved on November 27, 2011〕 He ended his rap career after converting to Islam and taking the name Abou Maleeq. He left Germany for Egypt and eventually Syria, where he fought with jihadist anti-government forces in the Syrian Civil War, under the ''nom de guerre'' of Abu Talha Al-Almani (meaning Abu Talha the German). He was wounded during the fighting in the northern-Syrian town of Azaz in an air-strike conducted by the Syrian Army. In 2014 he gave his oath of allegiance to Islamist-Jihadi group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The United States Department of State added Cuspert to its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists on 9 February 2015, and the United Nations Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee designated him on 11 February 2015. On 16 October 2015, Cuspert was reportedly killed by a US airstrike near Al-Raqqah, Syria. ==Early life and music career== Cuspert was born in Kreuzberg, a Berlin district to a German mother and a Ghanaian father. The father left the family while Cuspert was still a baby.〔Mekhennet, Souad. "Osama’s name flows in our blood: Ex-rapper." ''The New York Times'' at ''Indian Express''. Friday September 2, 2011.

He had a troubled youth and spent some time in juvenile detention center. In 1995 he began a rapping career with varying success, as he got increasingly involved in street trouble and eventually in crime. In 2002 he adopted the name Deso Dogg and began recording with the German rapper Charnell, a well-known gangster rapper from Berlin. Deso Dogg was, at that time, under detention in an open prison system for minor offenders. By mid-2004, he was repeatedly arrested for various new offences, including violations of the German Opium Act. Consequently, his probation was revoked and Deso Dogg had to serve time in the Tegel Prison. After his release from detention, he worked with Montana of Montana Beatz and with the producer Dean Dawson of Streetlife Entertainment. Additionally he took part in the DMX Tour in 2005. After suffering from psychological problems, he was replaced on the tour by D-Flame. He admitted that his situation was so unstable, he risked reverting to prison or worse, adding that he realized he needed to change. He later rejoined the DMX Tour in 2006 after being given one more chance by the tour organizers. He quit Streetlife label in 2007, reportedly to keep his artistic freedom. In September 2007, he announced working on a double album titled ''Alle Augen Auf Mich'' (meaning all eyes on me). He also announced that he would quit after this project because he felt disappointed and betrayed by many people in the German rap scene. The launching of the album was repeatedly delayed to be ultimately released in November 2009. In August 2008, he appeared in an episode of the television series ''Der Bluff'' playing a student who turns into a gangsta rapper. In 2010 his song "Willkommen in meiner Welt" (meaning Welcome to my world) was used in the ARD film courage to ''Zivilcourage'' (meaning moral courage). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denis Cuspert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
