Grim104 ( spelling : grim104 ; * 1988 in Krefeld ; civil: Moritz Wilken ) is a German rapper who is under contract with the Hamburg label Buback . Together with the rapper Testo , he forms the hip-hop duo Zugezogen Masculin .

Career

Moritz Wilken was born in Krefeld in 1988 and spent the first years of his life there. At the age of four he moved to the town of Zetel in Lower Saxony . After moving to Berlin in 2007, he first completed a voluntary social year in a hospital cleaning company. He then worked as an editor for Polli magazine and began an internship in the editorial team of the Rap.de website in 2010 under the direction of journalist Marcus Staiger . During this internship, Grim104 met the hip-hop musician Testo. Together they then formed the duo Zugezogen Masculin. The band name is an allusion to the formation Westberlin Masculin , which consisted of the rappers Kool Savas and Taktloss in the late 1990s . Furthermore, according to Testos, the choice was made for the term “ drawn ”, since this functions as a “ swear word ” in the context of the hip-hop scene . The duo released their first album in December 2011 with Kauft nicht bei Immigrant . This was offered for free download. A video version of the song Rotkohl appeared in autumn 2012 . Music videos were also made for the pieces Entartete Kunst and Undercut Tumblrblog .

In addition to his musical activities, Grim104 began studying economics in 2010 , which he broke off after two years. In early October 2013, the independent label Buback signed Testo and Grim104. On November 15, 2013, the EP Grim104 was released as the rapper's first solo release. The implementation of the piece I kill Anders Breivik had already been published as a video in advance . Music videos for Frosch , Crystal Meth in Brandenburg and May 2nd were also shot. According to Grim104, the EP is conceptually the " treatise " of his life so far. Like the rapper Yelawolf in the United States, he wanted to emphasize provincial life. In 2015 the album Alles brennt mit Testo was released, which made it to number 20 on the German album charts.

reception

Grim104 has been widely discussed in the media. In the course of the publication of his EP Grim104 in particular , he experienced a wide reception. The e-zine Laut.de describes Grim104's lecture as “ half rapped, half yelled and more often off the track than in time. "His lyrics are" far beyond the Hip Hop standard "and resemble the" murder fantasies "of the rapper Taktloss. In a review by Laut.de of the EP Grim104 , the editor Dani Fromm characterizes the rapper as “ unadjusted, thoroughly disaffected and accordingly bitterly angry. "With that he resembles" in appearance, in demeanor and in heart "a punk . The music editor Katja Engelhardt explained that Grim104 moved between “ the successful camps of street dog rap and hedonistic pop rap. "From her point of view, the rapper is not" afraid of the evil big wide world ", but rather looks for" the inexplicable, the abysmal. "

A number of authors were also positive about Grim104. Dirk Bernemann , for example, found the texts “ very interesting. “The singer and author Thees Uhlmann praised Grim104 in interviews as his“ current favorite rapper. “In this context, he regretted that the rapper was under contract with Buback because he would like him to work as an artist on his label Grand Hotel van Cleef . Marcus Staiger explained in relation to Grim104 that this had his own " skeptical [s] worldview in a nutshell ".

Sascha Ehlert from the hip-hop magazine Juice describes the rapper's lyrics as “ lyrical horrorcore in the light version ”, which revolves around “ topics such as rebellion, lack of perspective and powerlessness in the face of a rigid society ”. The piece Crystal Meth in Brandenburg represents the " hopeless [...] addition to Moritz von Uslar's book 'Deutschboden' ". The editorial team of Meinrap.de drew a comparison of Grim104's texts with the works of the American writer HP Lovecraft . For the Musikexpress, Grim104 gave the right answer to the “ bloodless young entrepreneurs and middle class shockers on the boulevard of the Sido and Bushido schools . "
