Moritz Wilken[1] (born 19 May 1988[2] in Meerbusch),[3] better known by his stage name grim104, is a German rapper,[4] who is signed to the Hamburg label Buback.[5] Together with the rapper Testo he forms the hip-hop duo Zugezogen Maskulin.[6]

Career

[edit]

Wilken was born in the city of Meerbusch, North Rhine-Westphalia, in 1988. At the age of four he moved to the town of Zetel in Lower Saxony.[4] After moving to Berlin in 2007, he completed a voluntary social year in a hospital.[7][8] He then worked as an editor of the 'Polli-Magazins' and in 2010 began an internship at the editorial office of German rap website 'Rap.de' under the direction of journalist Marcus Staiger.[6][8][9] It was during this internship that grim104 met fellow hip-hop musician Testo.[6] Later they formed the duo Zugezogen Maskulin together.[10] The band name is an allusion to former hip-hop duo Westberlin Maskulin formed in the late 1990s by the rappers Kool Savas and Taktloss.[5] According to a statement by Testo it was also because the term 'zugezogen' (moved to (Berlin) in contrast to being born there) functioned as an insult in the hip-hop scene.[7] With Kauft nicht bei Zugezogenen! (Do Not Buy From Newcomers!) the duo released their first album in December 2011. This album was offered as a free download.[11] In Autumn 2012 they released a video for their song Rotkohl (Red Cabbage).[12] Videos were later also released for Entartete Kunst (Degenerated Art) and Undercut Tumblrblog.[13][14]

On October 31, 2019, Halloween, grim104 released another solo-EP called "Das Grauen, das Grauen".[15]
