ZK (rapper)
Zaman Kilic (born Ishøj, Denmark 26 August 2000), better known by his stage name ZK, is a Danish rapper.[1][2]
He wrote his first contract with a 16-year-old named Ashkan at Sony Denmark and published the first single "Solskin". He started singing and rapping at a young age. When he was 11 years old, he made his first song on YouTube, you can still find his songs from back then. ZK's fourth hit "Zum Zum" is streamed over 11 million times on Spotify and is his most streamed song. ZK went to the studio to make "Zum Zum" after he was told that two of his close friends were in prison. The song is his explanation of him and his friends' understanding of life and the ghetto life.
“I don't feel anyone is explaining my friends and my story. We come from slum and ghetto, and most of our lives take place on the street. Out here, it's just our mentality to hit money fast quick.
ZK's third single "Ca Ca" is his second most streamed on Spotify. The Ca Ca concept has emerged among ZK and his friends. "About Ca is when we are up and running over something when the police are in the heels when the adrenaline pumps or when we are affected somehow. It just like when we have fun, then me and my boys are completely Ca Ca.
The idea for "Ca Ca" comes from ZK's first meeting with being at a club and his experience of this. The production on the track is made by yet another young 17-year-old from Ishøj, Haider Mirza with the producer name "PakiNextDoor", which with this track got its produced shop.
The only 18-year-old ZK from Ishøj has released six singles, which together have over 20 million streams on spotify.
