Life
Childhood and youth
Dmitrij Aleksandrovic Chpakov was born on 17 March 1989 in Czernowitz which at that time was still part of the Ukrainian SSR. His mother was a professional musician, and according to Chpakov, his father was an alcoholic whom he never met. In 1992, his mother moved to Germany from Ukraine for personal reasons and because of the Chernobyl disaster, taking him and his grandmother with her. Initially, they went to Berlin but later moved to a refugee shelter in Osnabrück. According to his autobiography, they moved to Osnabrück-Eversburg in 1993 after his mother started a relationship with a former Yugoslavian military officer who was also involved in dealing drugs. According to his own statements, the relationship was marked by violence. Chpakov claims that as a result, he got involved in criminal activities. He describes how, after dropping out of school, he committed large-scale cellphone fraud and identity theft together with a youth gang.
Beginning of rap career
In December 2004, Chpakov participated in his first rap battle on the website Reimliga Battle Arena (RBA) under the name "Capri_Sonne," which was not scored.
