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. 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.{{cite web |author=Meinrap.de |url=http://meinrap.de/2011/12/10/zugezogen-maskulin-kauft-nicht-bei-zugezogenen-download/ |title=Zugezogen Maskulin – Kauft nicht bei Zugezogenen (Download) |access-date=2014-03-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105033823/http://meinrap.de/2011/12/10/zugezogen-maskulin-kauft-nicht-bei-zugezogenen-download/ |archive-date=2013-11-05 |url-status=dead }} In Autumn 2012 they released a video for their song ''Rotkohl'' (Red Cabbage).{{cite web |author=Meinrap.de |url=http://meinrap.de/2012/09/16/zugezogen-maskulin-rotkohl-video/ |title=Zugezogen Maskulin – Rotkohl (Video) |access-date=2014-03-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150107222128/http://meinrap.de/2012/09/16/zugezogen-maskulin-rotkohl-video/ |archive-date=2015-01-07 |url-status=dead }} Videos were later also released for ''Entartete Kunst'' (Degenerated Art) and ''Undercut Tumblrblog''.{{cite web |author=Meinrap.de |url=http://meinrap.de/2011/11/10/zugezogen-maskulin-entartete-kunst-video/ |title=Zugezogen Maskulin – Entartete Kunst (Video) |access-date=2014-03-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150107222104/http://meinrap.de/2011/11/10/zugezogen-maskulin-entartete-kunst-video/ |archive-date=2015-01-07 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |author=Meinrap.de |url=http://meinrap.de/2012/03/29/zugezogen-maskulin-undercut-tumblrblog-video/ |title=Zugezogen Maskulin – Undercut Tumblrblog (Video) |access-date=2014-03-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150107231312/http://meinrap.de/2012/03/29/zugezogen-maskulin-undercut-tumblrblog-video/ |archive-date=2015-01-07 |url-status=dead }} On October 31, 2019, [Halloween](/source/Halloween), grim104 released another solo-EP called "Das Grauen, das Grauen".{{Cite web|url=http://juice.de/grim104-das-grauen-das-grauen-review/|title=Grim104 - Das Grauen, Das Grauen // Review|last=Regner|first=David|date=2019-10-31|website=JUICE Magazin|language=de-DE|access-date=2019-11-13}} == Discography == ;Albums * 2011: ''Kauft nicht bei Zugezogenen!''
