Kristoffer Jonas Klauß (; born 29 June 1988), better known by the stage name Gzuz ( ), is a German rapper and record producer. In addition to his solo career, he has had success as part of Hamburg hip hop crew 187 Strassenbande.

== Biography == After his parents' divorce, Klauß grew up with his sister and his mother in Hamburg while becoming increasingly fascinated by the people who earn their money in the streets. As a child, Klauß showed promise at basketball, yet the influence from bad company and later decisions led him to not advance seriously in the sport. His addiction to marijuana, hashish and speedball led him to be admitted to a rehabilitation center at the age of 14. At the age of 15, fed up with his destructive and criminal behavior, his mother decided to kick him out of the house. After resisting studying, he decided to try again with vocational training, but they ended up kicking him out for stealing a laptop. According to him, "he didn't fit into the German school system." Klauß has been a member of 187 Strassenbande since 2006. The name Gzuz is an acronym for "Ghetto-Zeug unzensiert" (Ghetto stuff uncensored).
