Career

After Zuna temporarily earned his money in the drug trade, the 17-year-old teenager joined the KMN gang, which had just been founded.

The first year he was placed in the German single charts with the song “KMN”. In February 2017, the rapper started working with the Moroccan-born Dortmunder Miami Yacine.
