23KTuN

23KTuN is an independent hip-hop artist from the west side of Grand Prairie, Texas, in the neighborhood known as Dalworth. Tupac Shakur and Lil Wayne being his biggest influences, he developed an early love for lyricism and storytelling. He began writing lyrics at age 8 and started freestyling in 2001, building his own voice and style. In 2005, at 17, he entered the recording studio for the first time. His career began in earnest with the rap group TYS (Throwed Young Starz), which he co-founded with his younger cousin, Yung Duce (Donell Allen). The group released two mixtapes together. At 18, 23KTuN joined Thirteen Entertainment, the label owned by his older cousin/CEO, Carl Thomas, where he gained experience and built his presence in the industry. Since then, he has put together a deep catalog: appearances on 4 label compilations, put out 19 solo mixtapes, 2 collaborative mixtapes, 2 EPs, 6 studio albums, and 1 collaborative album. In the summer of 2019, he took the next step and launched his own label, Zeroluv Records LLC. Running his own label gave him full creative control and made him an entrepreneur as well as an artist. His album Zeroluv 3 is available on Apple Music, iTunes, SoundCloud, Audiomack, Deezer, Napster, Amazon Music, Tidal, TikTok, and Spotify. Looking ahead, 23KTuN is working on his sixth studio album, TuNTiLLiDiE, which doesn't have a release date yet. Before it arrives, he plans to release an R&B EP and a prequel album to TuNTiLLiDiE in mid 2027!
