Born in the Schöneberg district of Berlin, he began collaborating with the notorious Aggro Berlin collective in 2005. That year he was featured on Aggro Ansage, Vol. 5 ("Alpa für Westberlin," "A.G.G.R.O Teil 5"), one of the label's mixtape-style samplers; Heiße Ware ("Sei Wie Du Bist," "Freunde," "Partytime"), a mixtape hosted by Tony D and B-Tight; Dein Lieblingsalbum ("Gib Mir die Flasche," "Die Sekte und SRK"), an album by Deine Lieblingsrapper; and numerous songs by MOK ("MOK & Alpa," "Schöneberg Neukölln," "Alpas Kampf," "Ich Kling Wie Was"), a fellow Aggro Berlin rapper of Turkish descent. Alpa Gun continued to be heavily featured on Aggro Berlin releases in subsequent years. He made his full-length solo debut with Geladen und Entsichert (2007), released by Sektenmusik; the Ausländer maxi-single accompanied the album's release. ~ Jason Birchmeier
