Geeks (Korean:긱스) is a Korean hip hop duo composed of rappers Lil Boi and Louie. They are signed under Grandline Entertainment and Rainbow Bridge World. They are both credited lyricists, composers, and producers, as well as notable Korean rappers in their own right. They hit mainstream crossover success in a collaboration with Sistar's Soyou in the track "Officially Missing You Too," a major K-pop hit of 2012.
Geeks debuted with their mini-album "Officially Missing You" on March 9. The title song "Officially Missing You" is a remake of an R&B hit by Canadian singer Tamia. Geeks placed first on Cyworld's daily music chart with that song. Geeks participated in the 3rd Grand Line Show, a hiphop concert, and in the TV show "GEEKS TV." They were also the "Rookie of the Month" for May for the Cyworld Digital Music Awards.
Geeks released their second mini-album "Hang Over" with a title song of the same name and an accompanying music video on April 13. Geeks held a collaborative concert with Crucial Star on May 26. Geeks performed at 'Green Groove Festival 2012." Geeks were featured in Jung Hye Min's title song "Don't Call Me Nuna," released October 18.
Sistar's Soyou released a successful collaboration track named "Officially Missing You Too" on November 1, 2012. The song ranked number one on several Korean music sites. The track and its accompanying collaboration album and music video were both part of a project called "Re:code" supervised and produced by Loen Entertainment to take quality tracks from underground Korean hiphop artists and arrange them to be more mainstream. The Geeks scored their first top ten hit with "Officially Missing You Too."
In December Geeks signed a contract with Kim Do Hoon() of Rainbow Bridge World (formerly WA Entertainment).
