Genetikk is a German hip hop group from Saarbrücken, Germany. Members Karuzo and Sikk have formed the group in 2009 and have since released three studio albums.

Band history

The duo has gotten to know each other in school and started recording music. In the process, a hip hop group was formed with constantly changing members. The debut album Foetus was recorded in Paris and released for download in October 2010. It was rated by critics as presenting a Realo-Gangster charme and comical exaggeration of own character. Moreover, the style alludes to the appearance of the hip hop group Insane Clown Posse which represent Juggalos.

Their second album was announced in spring 2011 with music video releases of the singles Inkubation, Genie und Wahnsinn and Konichiwa Bitches while the latter was later removed. After signing to Düsseldorf-based label Selfmade Records in late 2011, the album Voodoozirkus was released in February 2012. Performing as a supporting act for GZA and French rapper Sefyu in the same month, the rap group's popularity was raised and album sales thrived. Genetikk signed a publication contract with BMG and performed with 257ers and DCVDNS for the tour Menschen, Tiere, AKKtraktionen.
