Genocide Real name Jusuf was Born in Bosnia [in 1984](Former Yugoslavia)
In 1992 as a young child [8] he was trapped in the brutal conflict that
over took Yugoslavia. His home town of Zvornik was one of the first
places to fall under attack and resulted in the murder and ethnic cleansing
of the entire muslim population.
Zvornik - From Genocide's House
Genocide watched from the hills as the tanks shelled the city
And as The Paramilitary forces moved in to cleanse the once beautiful
And multi-cultural city.
After managing to escape Bosnia, He arrived in Austria where
Thousands of other Bosnian victims had fled.
After a few months there and visibly traumatized by the war
He was accepted into Ireland as a Refugee.
In Ireland, Genocide went to school and learned English.
Being a Refugee there in the mid 90’s had its consequences
And genocide found himself as a target of severe Racism.
But this didn’t affect his love and respect for the country
That offered him and a lot of his people a 2nd chance.
It was during this time that Genocide discovered hip hop.
He soon began writing his own songs and selling mixtapes around
The area where he lived.
In 2002 After finishing high school he moved to New Zealand
He still continued to write songs and in 2006 Genocide
Was ready to spread his music to the wider public
"it takes time to find your Path, your true calling and to reach a stage where you feel your music is ready to be exposed" "Genocide"
Since 2006 Genocide has Done Mixtapes, Appeared in Magazines,
News Papers, featured on international cds, Numerous Live shows to name a few.

Big up!
Thank you for someone finally having the balls to speak the truth without fear. Without fear the elite have no power start the revolution POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
trop trop fort et freedom for palestine
I listened to most of your songs man. You have a great flow and an amazing voice and if you are writing your songs which I presume you are, makes you very inteligent and articulate as well as having a broad knowledge of the world we live in. I love rap, real rap, such as Tupac’s, the rap that comes from the heart which todays music industry lacks quite a bit. All rappers rap about these days is bitches, fame and money…commercial crap. You came a long way realising your dream, especially begining from a nightmare. Congratulations on your effort so far and I truelly hope you make it big.
I dont know if it matters or not but I came from Bosnia too, not too far from Zvornik. I was 4 when the war started. Nothing good came from the war I was deprived of my childhood, half of family on my fathers side was killed. Only if it never happend. Only if history and religion and national identity didn’t exist, we’d be living in our country right now under one identity. I lived in Australia now for 13 years and have not gone back. For all it matters I am Serbian. Love & Peace
