Denis Cuspert
Denis Mamadou Gerhard Cuspert (18 October 1975 – 17 January 2018), also known by his stage name Deso Dogg and his nom de guerre Abu Talha al-Almani (Arabic: أبو طلحة الألماني), was a German rapper who became a member of the Islamic State.
Cuspert ended his rap career in 2010, converted to Islam and took on the new Islamic name Abou Maleeq (Arabic: أبو طلحة). He left Germany in 2012 for Egypt and Libya, eventually going to Syria in 2013, 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 fighting in the northern-Syrian town of Azaz in an air-strike conducted by the Syrian Arab Air Force. In 2014, he gave his oath of allegiance to Islamist-Jihadi group the Islamic State (IS).[citation needed]
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. In January 2018, the Wafa' Media Foundation announced his death during clashes in the town of Gharanij.
Cuspert was born in Kreuzberg, Berlin on 18 October 1975. His father, Richard Luc-Giffard, was a Ghanaian national who had been deported before Cuspert was born. His mother, Sigrid Cuspert, is German. He was later raised in Charlottenburg, Moabit and Schöneberg. His mother remarried a U.S. Army officer with whom Cuspert had ongoing conflicts. He had a troubled youth and spent some time in a 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.[citation needed]
In 2002, Cuspert adopted the name Deso Dogg and began recording with the German rapper Charnell, a gangster rapper from Berlin.
After his release from detention, he worked with Montana of Montana Beatz and with the producer Dean Dawson of Streetlife Entertainment. He quit Streetlife label in 2007, reportedly to keep his artistic freedom.
In September 2007, he announced that he was working on a double album titled Alle Augen Auf Mich ("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 release of the album was repeatedly delayed and was ultimately released in November 2009.
