Most producers hand you a beat and disappear.
I don't work like that.

Under the alias @prodtilo, I've spent six years embedded in the US and German underground — building sounds that move between trap, drill, and dark atmospheric rap. I know both scenes from the inside, which means I understand what works on either side of the Atlantic.

As @1raeza, I step in front of the mic — primarily in German, rooted in emotional directness with production-grade finishing. And when a project needs a visual identity, I direct it myself, from concept to cut.

I offer what most can't: a complete creative unit in one person. Sound. Visuals. Identity. Done.

How I Got Here.

2018
Started as a Rapper
Before I was a producer, I was rapping. Using other people's beats made me realize one thing — I could make those myself. That thought changed everything.
2019
First Beats on YouTube
Uploaded my first productions under @prodtilo. Shortly after, Global Bans used one of my beats on "With It" — my first official placement, and my first $15 sale. Small number. Big shift in mindset.
2020—22
Networking & First Real Collabs
Started taking networking seriously. Landed collaborations with Johno37 & Jona37 on the German side, and Cayo Banks in the US underground — building a reputation across both scenes simultaneously.
2022
Back on the Mic — For Real This Time
Always tested beats by rapping on them. Late 2022 I stopped testing and started committing. Launched @1raeza seriously after strong early feedback from people close to me.
2023
Expanded Into Visual Direction
Met TwoSixx through the scene — and took on creative direction for his music videos. Proof that the work speaks: when you're embedded in the right circles, opportunities find you.
NOW
Producing More. Finding the Sound.
Output is up, focus is sharper. Deepening my identity as a German-language rapper while continuing to produce for others. The full creative package — sound, artist, visuals — is coming together. Looking for the right people to build with.

005 — In Their Words

What Artists Say.

Working with Sean is different — he actually understands the artist's vision and builds from there, not the other way around.

TWOSIXX
Recording Artist, DE

Working with Sean on the EP was effortless — he understood the vision immediately and delivered every time. I'd work with him again without hesitation.

GLOBAL BANS
Recording Artist, US Underground

The production was exactly where I needed it. He locked in the energy from day one.

CAYO BANKS
