PORZELLAN ALBUM - KONTRA K: RELEASE DATE, TRACKLIST & DETAILS

Kontra K trades his usual hard rap sound for strings and brass — the Berlin rapper's orchestral album "Porzellan – The Classic" is set for release on 18 December 2026, with the Ness collaboration "Porzellan" as its lead single.

Album Details

The full title of the record is "Porzellan – The Classic". It is an orchestral album — not a studio album — the orchestral counterpart to his harder studio direction. According to reports, it arrives on 18 December 2026, distributed via Universal Music, with pre-orders live now via the official Kontra K shop.

It will be released as a CD, a double LP (vinyl) and a Blu-ray carrying a concert film recorded at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg concerts. A "Porzellan Collectors Bundle" — combining CD, double LP, Blu-ray and booklet — is priced at 69.99 €.

Porzellan Tracklist

To be clear: the official tracklist for "Porzellan – The Classic" has not been announced. According to discographien.de, the listing currently reads "Tracklisting: wird nachgereicht" (track listing to follow). Confirmed so far: the title track "Porzellan" featuring Ness, alongside newly recorded and rearranged older songs with full orchestral instrumentation and guest appearances.

What the Channel Aid concerts in Hamburg previewed — this is not the album tracklist — were orchestral versions of "Letzte Träne", "Die Besten bleiben", "Blei", "Der Teufel und das Licht" and "Die Sonne", plus "Bring mich nach Hause" (with Nico Santos) and "Geboren um zu leben" (with NESS). Guests on stage included Sido ("Follow"), SDP ("Keine Helden") and Anna Grey.

Note: the studio album "Aus der Asche" arrives separately on 12 March 2027, followed by a 12-city arena tour from 19 October to 17 November 2027 across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
