Life and career

Born as the daughter of a German mother and Moroccan father, Juju grew up in a poor area in the Berlin district Neukölln.[2][3] As a child, she listened to German gangsta rap (Bushido, Aggro Berlin, Sido, etc.) and since she was 14, Juju started rapping as a hobby in her free time.[4][5] In 2010, she met Nura for the first time.[6] Later they formed the German rap crew SXTN. Their first song was Deine Mutter[7] and their most successful Von Party zu Party (which reached 30 million views on Youtube two years later)[8] and Bongzimmer.[9] In 2018, Nura and Juju separated and began their solo careers. Juju reached the top of the German single charts with the singles "Melodien" (with Capital Bra) and "Vermissen" (with Henning May).
