of Germany under modest circumstances. Whilst Juju mainly rapped in company of her friends, Nura had already had some stage practice with the band The toten Crackhuren im Kofferaum and with the "Berliner Kneipenchor". Then, in 2014 SXTN was founded. 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, and also peaked at 1 on the German hip-hop charts. 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. In April of 2019 Nura stated that she will no longer work together with her former bandmate when it comes to making music. Juju confirmed the split one month later.
