"Kool Savas (formerly King Kool Savas (KKS), Juks or Jux) (born February 10, 1975 in Aachen) is a German rapper of Turkish descent and one of Germany's most influencial hip hop artists. His real name is Savaş Yurderi. Savaş is the turkish word for War. He is also the frontman of the Optik Army. [...] As a baby, one-year-old Savas returned to Turkey with his family. His father was arrested for political activities, forcing his mother to return to Aachen. In 1987 the reunited family moved to Berlin where Savas first came in contact with rap music. In 1997, he acted in the film Geschwister – Kardesler in the role of Ahmed.
He lives with his long-time girlfriend Melbeatz in Berlin. The relationship is also one of artistic and business collaboration as she produces many of his beats. They also are both vegetarians. At the end of 2004, there was a rumor that they were no longer together. Savas seems to confirm this in the song "Was hab' ich dir angetan?" (What did I do to you?) on the album ONE."
