Amerikas Addiction operates under Black House Productions and draws influences from the hip-hop, alternative, punk, reggae, dance, and techno music cultures.
The group began as founding members of the notorious, “Black House Gang,” which earned them nominations for, “Best Rap/HipHop Act,” in 2007 and 2010 by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry.

Since its release on February 14, 2011, Dark Desires has been downloaded world-wide.

A video was made for one of the album tracks "Climaxxx", which was viewed over 10,000 times in less than 10 days.
Amerikas Addiction’s third album, The Enlitened Ones, was a result of collaboration between the musical duo and Enliten Clothing Company in Oregon. The two teamed up to create a real-talk album to expose the hip hop roots of the musical duo. The album captures the expression of life challenges, sexual tensions, desire, struggle, love and other elements of the hip hop culture.
Amerikas Addiction fourth album "Blame It on the Drugs" has been the most well received from Amerikas Addiction yet. It has been featured on countless blogs and has been downloaded all over the world.
