Earatik Statik is an hip-hop duo from Chicago, Illinois, consisting of emcees Sef Rich and Carlos Polk. Active since 1999, the duo is known for its contributions to the Chicago hip-hop scene and collaborations with notable figures in the genre. Between 1999 and 2007, Earatik Statik released multiple 12-inch vinyl singles, an EP, and two full-length albums: Lox It Down Suite (2000), produced by Brother El, and Feelin Earatik (2005), which received critical acclaim, including four stars from URB magazine and features in The Source and XXL.

Their third album, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, was released in 2009 on Gravel Records. The project includes production from Pete Rock and a remix by Large Professor, with guest appearances from Sadat X, Sean Price, Ed O.G., and Tony Benefit.
