SXTN

SXTN was a German hip hop duo from Berlin consisting of rappers Juju and Nura. They are known for their somewhat-mockingly provocative lyrics, that often play on stereotypical rap themes such as sex, weed-smoking, money and party lifestyles. [1]

Members

The duo consists of rappers Juju and Nura. Nura Habib Omer[2][1][3] left Saudi-Arabia at the age of three, when her mother fled to Germany with Nura and her three siblings.[4] After two years in a refugee home, they moved to Wuppertal. At the age of 18, Nura moved to Berlin.[4] Juju, whose real name is Judith Wessendorf,[2][1][3] grew up in Neukölln with a German mother and a Moroccan father.[4] She met Nura at the age of 17.[5]

History

SXTN was founded in 2014.[1] Their first EP, titled Asozialisierungsprogramm, was released in 2016. Their debut studio album, titled Leben am Limit, was released in 2017 and peaked at 8 on the German charts,[6][1] and also peaked at 1 on the German hip-hop charts.[7] In a late-2018 Instagram post, Juju revealed that she and Nura intended to focus on their own individual solo careers going forward, and that they had become otherwise estranged aside from their time performing on-stage together, which resulted in speculations regarding a possible disbandment of SXTN.[2]

Lyrical content

SXTN's lyrics often utilise male clichés,[8] and rap about prostitution, drugs and partying.[9]
