Biography

Born in Wickede, Dendemann was raised in Menden and later relocated to Hamburg in 1996. His first success was with the crew Arme Ritter, who often functioned as support for Fettes Brot and were featured on their album außen Top Hits, innen Geschmack. Arme Ritter had previously released a single called Disco '95 on Sony Music, but to little avail. In the mid-1990s, Dendemann and Thomas "Rabauke" Jensen, the tour DJ of Fettes Brot, founded the hip hop duo Eins Zwo. At the same time, Dendemann was working with the former Arme Ritter artist Majubiese and his friend Nico Suave, under the alias Mutter Natur.
In 2003, Eins Zwo disbanded and both Dendemann and Rabauke are pursuing their solo careers.
