A review of the career

Sido's career is an exciting journey that started with its foundation of Aggro Berlin and is drawn through numerous successes. His track “Mein Block” from 2004 set new standards for the German rap and became a stylish work. With the rapid changes in the music landscape, Sido has always demonstrated a good hand and kept reinventing himself. The tour comprises 25 appearances until August 17th and promises to present both new and old hits.

It is particularly touching that Sido describes the writing process of his latest album "Paul" as a kind of therapy. He feels it as a connection that brought him relief after difficult times. Even if the writing did not always have fun, he felt freed and relieved after the end of the process, which underlines the importance of his texts. In recent years he has worked hard on his authenticity and is determined to honestly deal with himself instead of relying on only humorous texts. BigfM reports of these impressions.

The beginnings in cities such as Heidelberg and Stuttgart significantly shaped the genre, while Sido decisively shaped the scene in the 2000s. Social media have also revolutionized the way fans interact with artists, which ensures a breath of fresh air in the scene and offers new talents a platform.
