Biografie
Born out of the rich and vibrant Berlin rap scene, K.I.Z. is comprised of rappers Tarek Ébéne, Maxim Drüner, and Nicolas Seyfried, as well as DJ Craft. Born in Freiburg im Breisgau, Tarek moved to the Mediterranean coast of Spain with his family in his childhood years before moving back to Berlin where he met rapper Maxim. The group’s moniker, “K.I.Z”, has long provided ample amusement for the band’s members who have promoted various meaning for the acronym including “Cannibals in plain clothes”, “Crusaders in central asia”, and “Monastic novices in celibacy”.
The group released their debut, full-length album “Das Rap Deutschland Kettensägen Massaker” in 2005. A subsequent mixtape “Böhse Enkelz”, further raised the profile of the band, however It wasn’t until their sophomore release, “Hahnenkampt” (2007), that the group began to make inroads into the mainstream. Rising to No. 9 on the German Albums Chart, “Hehnenkampf” earned a string of positive reviews aided by the singles “Ellenbogengesellschaft”, “Geld essen (Ausgestopfte Rapper)”, and “Spasst”. In 2008 the band collaborated with Bela B. of Die Ärzte on the single “Hölle” before issuing their third studio album “Seximus gene Rechts”. Peaking at No. 7 on the German Albums Chart, the record was their most successful to date, led by the single “Das System (die kleinen Dinge)”.
Following the release of the No. 4 charting album “Urlaub fürs Gehirn” in 2011, K.I.Z. released the mixtape “Ganz Oben” in 2013, which peaked at No. 91 on the Albums chart. Two years later, proving their greatest success to date, the group released the studio album “Hurra die Welt geht unter”, which shot to No. 1 on the German Albums Chart. Also finding the top spot in Switzerland and charting at No. 4 in Austria, the album spawned the popular singles “Boom Boom Boom” and “Hurra die Welt get unter” featuring Henning May.

K.I.Z. is a German group that was formed in the year 2000 in Berlin, Germany. The founding members of the group are German rappers Tarek, Nico, and Maxim and DJ Craft. They have released four studio albums and counting since their creation.
I had the chance to watch them perform live at Splash! in the year 2011. They performed at an indoor venue but there was a lot of room for a very large audience and the audience still packed the building. That just shows the popularity of the band! They didn't use props. They did use a few visuals that consisted on light shining on the group as they performed and they also used a lot of smoke that was blowing up behind them.
The group seemed very passionate throughout their performance as they were constantly moving and dancing. This passion was passed to the crowd as the band began interacting with the audience throughout the performance. These interactions made for quite an amazing experience! The lyrics and beat by the rappers and DJ were just amazing.
I would recommend this group to anyone who just wants to dance! You will certainly have a fantastic time if you ever go to one of their performances!
They delivered a fantastic show! A lot of epic moments, surprises and jokes. It was the best performance Iv'e seen so far and I would really recomend going. They always kept the fans hyped, so the audience participated in the show and made it even better. The band before K.I.Z. also delivered and got blood pumping for the great concert. 10/10 would go again!!
