Apache 207 is of Turkish descent, his family having migrated from the Turkish province of Yozgat.{{https://www.sabah.com.tr/galeri/magazin/yozgatli-apache-dunyayi-salliyor]}} He finished high school in 2017 with A-Levels in Ludwigshafen.{{cite web|url=https://www.mannheim24.de/region/apache-207-deutschraps-naechstes-grosses-ding-dieser-rapper-geht-durch-decke-12277600.html|title=Apache 207: Neues Musikvideo "Roller" nach einem Tag schon 1 Millionen mal aufgerufen!|website=mannheim24.de|language=de|date=5 April 2019|accessdate=27 October 2019}} The rapper started his mainstream career in June 2018 when he released his debut single "Kleine Hure" still without label support.{{cite web|url=https://hiphop.de/magazin/hintergrund/apache-207-deutschraps-miroslav-klose-geht-in-offensive-319803|title=Apache 207: Deutschraps Miroslav Klose fängt gerade erst an|last=Senger|first=Clark|website=hiphop.de|language=de|date=24 June 2019|accessdate=27 October 2019}}{{Cite web|url=https://eventseeker.com/artist/90475-apache-207|title=Apache 207 - Artist Profile|last=|first=|date=|website=eventseeker.com|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200324044009/https://eventseeker.com/artist/90475-apache-207 |archive-date=2020-03-24 |access-date=2020-03-24}} The song was followed up by seven other singles, released over the course of six months.{{cite web|url=https://diffusmag.de/p/apache-207-mehr-als-ein-phaenomen|title=Apache 207: Mehr als ein Phänomen|author=Jxnosch|website=diffusmag.de|language=de|date=24 April 2019|accessdate=27 October 2019}} In early 2019, he was signed to musician Bausa's label TwoSides.{{cite web|url=https://hiphop.de/video/apache-207-reezy-bausa-ueber-sein-label-twosides|title=Apache 207 & reezy: Bausa über sein Label TwoSides|last=Senger|first=Clark|website=hiphop.de|language=de|date=18 June 2019|accessdate=27 October 2019}} The first single to be released under the label was "Kein Problem" in April 2019. Initially, the song garnered little attention and did not peak in Germany until late October 2019, at 17. However, the song's music video reached over eight million clicks on YouTube in the following months.{{cite web|url=https://www.mannheim24.de/region/apache-207-deutschraps-naechstes-grosses-ding-dieser-rapper-geht-durch-decke-12277600.html|title=Apache 207: Neues Musikvideo "Roller" nach einem Tag schon 1 Millionen mal aufgerufen!|last=Buch|first=Jana|website=mannheim24.de|language=de|date=24 August 2019|accessdate=27 October 2019}} In May 2019, he earned his first chart entry in Germany with the release "Brot nach Hause". Even though the single "2 Minuten" climbed up to 35 in Germany, his chart success remained moderate. On 23 August 2019, he released "Roller" which would debut at number two. In the following week, it reached number one on the chart.{{cite web|url=https://hiphop.de/magazin/news/charts-apache-207-nummer-1|title=Charts: Apache 207 sichert sich seine erste Nummer 1|last=Molke|first=David|website=hiphop.de|language=de|date=6 September 2019|accessdate=27 October 2019}} In Austria and Switzerland, the song peaked within the Top 10.{{Cite web|url=https://acharts.co/song/124136|title=Roller by Apache 207 - Music Charts|website=acharts.co|access-date=2020-03-24}} His follow-up releases "200 km/h" and "2002" with Sido became Top 10 hits as well.
