Immo Wischhusen (born September 23, 1975 in Bremen), better known as Flowin Immo or short Immo, is a German rapper and is considered a veteran of German hip hop.
Together with Ferris MC and DJ Pee, Immo founds the Freaks Association Bremen (FAB), which, in the fast-growing German hip hop scene, comes to success rather quickly. They perform at several events, festivals and on MTV and VIVA.
In 1994, FAB release their first album Freaks on the small indie label MZEE, three years later they disband over a private and professional dispute.
Ferris moves to Hamburg, Immo however stays in Bremen and is institutionalized soon after, but released three weeks later. He tries. He halfheartedly starts studying economic sciences.
In 2000, he single-handedly records the album Terra Pi and publishes it on his own label Immonopol. It's style is very experimental, but in spite of positive reviews by critics, it does not sell very well.
In late 2001, the Goethe-Institut sends Immo on a tour of Southeast Asia and he performs in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
One year later Immo moves to Berlin, where he collaborates with several local hip hop artists and starts to produce another solo album. Due to the successful performances in Bangkok, he is recommended to the VCP to teach rapping at the World Scout Jamboree 2002/2003.
Immo's single "Weltschmerz" is released in early 2005, and a video is produced by Andreas Schaap. On July 5, he is banned from Universal Music compound due to "menacing and insulting behavior" after trying to get the publishers to return the copyrights to his music.
With his live band, the FREAQZ, he performs in the German Sprachraum..
Flowin Immo is a regular guest at the Splash! festival.
