1) German rapper Anis Ferchichi who was born on September 28, 1978 in Bonn. His rap is strongly influenced by French Gangsta Rap. He is also known as Sonny Black.
Early Life:
Bushido has a Tunisian father and a German mother. However, he was raised in Berlin by his mother and never got to know his father.
Musical Career:
In 2000 he began his musical career. He gained recognition through King Orgasmus One and his works on several "I Luv Money Records"-Releases. Soon he released his first tape King Of Kingz. This led to him moving to a new label Aggro Berlin, where he worked with Sido, B-Tight, and Fler. The album was later released on CD in 2003 as King Of Kingz (Digital Remastered) and in 2004 as the King of Kingz 2004 Edition with some remixes. In 2002 he released the legendary milestone underground-album Carlo Cokxxx Nutten under his pseudonym, Sonny Black (arguably in the same manner as Eminem), in which he worked with Fler also known as Frank White.
His first Solo-Album was released in 2003, which is called "Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline". This album had a lot of good reviews and was titled the first real Gangster Rap album in Germany. It was an enormous success for what was still basically an underground release.
Because of artistic differences regarding his future solo career, he left his label, Aggro Berlin, in the summer of 2004 and was taken under contract by Urban/Universal. In 2004, together with Ilan, he produced a remix of the industrial metal group Rammstein's song Amerika. In October 2004 he released his third album Electro Ghetto which reached number six on the German charts. On April 4, 2005 he released his fourth LP in two and half years, Carlo Cokxxx Nutten II, once again using his alter ego Sonny Black and working with Baba Saad in replacement of Fler.
In the winter of 2004/2005, he played a central role in a dispute with the rapper Eko Fresh and also made the song "FLERräter" against his former colleague at Aggro Berlin Fler (a play on the word Verräter, which means traitor).
Legal trouble found its way into his life following a party in Linz, Austria on July 30th, 2005. Upon discovery that his tyres had been slashed, he and two of his bodyguards were involved in a physical altercation with a 20 year old male, who was left with severe head injuries. Bushido spent 15 days in jail before being released on €100,000 bail. He faces a 3 year sentence if convicted.
On the judgemend day he released his Album "Staatsfeind Nr.1" (Public Enemy Nr. 1).
Most people called his time in jail a big promotion for this Album.
The second sampler ersguterjunge Sampler Vol. 2 - Vendetta was released the 1st of December 2006. It features artists who are signed to his Label ersguterjunge. The only single of the Sampler is called "Vendetta" and features Bushido, Eko Fresh and Chakuza.
In 2007 he won another ECHO-award as best hip hop/rap artist. His albums have earned platinum status in Germany, making him the most successful rapper ever in his homeland.
The album, 7 was released on August 31st, 2007 in Germany. As of August 24th, 7 has already pre-sold 100,000 copies in Germany, making it a gold record.
Bushido released his Biography Bushido on 8 September 2008 and his 8th album Heavy Metal Payback was released on 10 October. The singles are: "Ching Ching" and "Für immer jung" (which features Karel Gott).
Controversy:
Somewhat ironically, Bushido's admirers include both immigrants and extreme right-wing youth, which has drawn caution and criticism in Germany. He is often criticized in the media for his allegedly sexist, nationalist, and racist lyrics and for refusing to reject some of his controversial fans. However, some point to his partial North African ethnicity and collaboration with minority artists, like Azad, Eko Fresh, and Cassandra Steen, as evidence Bushido is not racist.
2) 'Bushido' is the name of a one-shot collaboration between some of the best known singer/songwriters from the current generation of rock singers in Spain. The singers involved in the Bushido project are: Búnbury, Carlos Ann, Shuarma and Mortí. They sat together for a couple of weeks and came out with a collection of pop-rock songs that showcase each of their styles and thematic inclinations.
3)Bushido were an obscure post-punk band from the early 80's similar in style to early Cabaret Voltaire/Eric Random etc.
4) Bushido are a progressive rock, three piece from Melbourne, Australia. They have released 2 EP's entitled 'Last Breath' and 'Mercina'. They play music in a similar vein to other Australian bands such as 'The Butterfly Effect', 'Cog' and 'Karnivool'. They are currently writing songs for their debut album set to be released early 2008.

(23 Stunden Zelle)
23 Stunden Zelle, jeden Tag das gleiche
Du warst hier nie drin, also erzähl uns keine Scheiße
Jeden Tag das gleiche, Trainieren bis du umfällst
Du kriegst auf die Fresse, wenn du wie ein Hund bellst
Ich weiß Thomas D., das ist nicht dein Song
Wände die grau sind, Stahltüren die zu sind
Einzelhaft im Dunkeln, irgendwann bist du Blind
Und jeder weiß, genau wie sich der andere fühlt
Du machst nur das, was dir dein Verstand befiehlt
Und dein verdammtes Ziel, ist wieder frei zu sein
Und nachts wenn alle schlafen, bist du ganz allein
Du bist allein, dir bleibt nur das Gebet
Und wieder fällt dir auf, dass sich der Zeiger nicht mehr dreht
Wo sind meine Knastbrüder, wo sind die Draufgänger?
Mittelfinger für die V-Männer
23 Stunden Zelle
Das ist unser Leben
Wir sind hier gelandet, für uns gibt es keine Regeln
23 Stunden Zelle
Ghettorap hin, Ghettorap her
Dieses Leben war nicht fair
23 Stunden Zelle
Die Faust ball' ich zusamm'
Tag ein, Tag aus, wir sind hier gefang'
23 Stunden Zelle
Kein Ausweg in Sicht
Beiß die Zähne zusamm', wenn du am Aufgeben bist
23 Stunden Zelle
Yeah Araber, Deutsche, Türken, Russen
Wir halten hier zusamm, weil wir's müssen
Wenn wir Karten spiel'n, wie Soldaten dealn'
Du willst 'nen Fernseher. Komm zu mir. Du zahlst nicht viel
Ja du zahlst nicht viel, wie meine Zellenkumpanen
Wir sind drin, wegen Überfällen im Laden
Er hat uns abgehackt, der verkackte Staat
Sie wollen uns resozialisieren, doch es macht uns hart
Tag ein, Tag aus, Junge das ist Blood in Blood Out
Wir verlieren unsern Traum
Das Essen hier, würde nicht mal euer Hund fressen
Ich schmeiß' ne Runde Filet, und die Jungs lächeln
Lächelnd, schließt der Wärter unser Schloss
Der Knast ist keine Serie, wer is hier der Boss?
Zigaretten sind Geld, in diesen dreckigen Zellen
Ich leb' in dieser viereckigen Welt
23 Stunden Zelle
Das ist unser Leben
Wir sind hier gelandet, für uns gibt es keine Regeln
23 Stunden Zelle
Ghettorap hin, Ghettorap her
Dieses Leben war nicht fair
23 Stunden Zelle
Die Faust ball' ich zusamm'
Tag ein, Tag aus, wir sind hier gefang'
23 Stunden Zelle
Kein Ausweg in Sicht
Beiß die Zähne zusamm', wenn du am Aufgeben bist
23 Stunden Zelle
Junge, eine Stunde Ausgang (ah ah)
Und sie pumpen sich auf man
Diese Tattoos hier sind selbsgestochen
Und kein Knast hat jemals diesen Fels gebrochen
Die Mauern sind 10 Meter breit
10 Meter hoch, trotzdem kriegst du hier drin 10 Meter Koks
Undercover hier im Waschsalon
Pack ich den Stoff in den Pappkarton
23 Stunden Zelle
Das ist unser Leben
Wir sind hier gelandet, für uns gibt es keine Regeln

23 Stunden Zelle
"23 Stunden Zelle" is a song by German rapper Bushido. The song talks about life in prison, particularly the difficulties of being locked up for 23 hours a day. Bushido describes the monotony of prison life, where every day is the same, and the only goal is to gain freedom once again. He speaks about the feeling of being alone, the desperation that sets in when you realize that you are stuck in a box with no escape. The walls, the steel doors, and the darkness that becomes your companion end up blinding you.
Bushido also touches on the loyalty amongst prisoners, where men from different walks of life and backgrounds come together to form a bond that transcends race or religion. In prison, they find comfort in playing cards, sharing meals, and looking after each other. However, this camaraderie is threatened by betrayal from informants within the system.
The song ends with Bushido reflecting on the idea that prison has made him hard, resilient and that it has toughened him up in ways that he never imagined. He talks about the prices that he and his fellow inmates pay for their crimes, and how they are fighting to survive, to stay sane and to one day live freely again.
Overall, "23 Stunden Zelle" is a sobering and dark song that sheds light on the brutality of life in prison. It shows how isolation and confinement can shatter a person's psyche, but also how people from all backgrounds can band together to help each other survive.
