Career

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]
