Kristoffer Jonas Klauß, better known by his stage name Gzuz, is a prominent figure in the German hip-hop scene, particularly associated with the gritty, hard-hitting style of rap. Born on June 29, 1988, in Hamburg, Germany, Gzuz rose to fame as a member of the influential hip-hop collective 187 Strassenbande, which has played a crucial role in shaping the soundscape of German street rap.

Gzuz's music embodies the raw energy and authenticity of Hamburg's street life, with his lyrics often reflecting personal tales of struggle, hustle, and the harsh realities of urban existence. His vigorous delivery and visceral storytelling have garnered a substantial following, propelling him to become one of the standout figures in the genre. With a string of successful releases to his name, his work includes hard-hitting tracks like "Was macht Gzuz?!" and "Sig Sauer," as well as collaborative projects such as "High & Hungrig 3" with fellow 187 Strassenbande member Bonez MC. Gzuz's versatility is also evident in the energetic anthems "Nix zu tun" and "Abziehen" or the snappier vibes of tracks like "Cinnamon Roll" and "YumYum." His raw depiction of street life and unapologetic demeanor in songs like "Sturkopf (mit ner Glock)" have solidified his reputation as a powerhouse in German hip-hop.
