His stage name is derived from his first name, and also the Latin word ‘materia’ meaning ‘matter’ or ‘substance’. He has met with success in Germany (his 2012 collaboration with Yasha and Miss Platnum, Lila Wolken, reached Number 1 in the German music charts) and the single Verstrahlt, featuring Yasha, was included in the console game FIFA 12.
His alternative stage name and alter ego is Marsimoto. Before his music career, he was a football player and male model.
At the age of 16, Marteria was a member of the hip-hop group Underdog Cru, signed to the label Posin Music. At 18, Marteria then signed his first solo contract with Punchline/SPV, and released his debut album. In 2002 he went as part of the Underdog Cru on a European tour with other British and German groups. A year before, in 2001, he performed as part of the Underdog Cru in the largest hip-hop and reggae festival in Europe, Splash!.
His debut album, Halloziehnation, was praised by the press, and the scene magazine Juice awarded 4 1/2 of 6 stars. He then released his second album Base Ventura. These two albums he released on the indie label Magnum12, where he laid the foundations for his current career. In late Autumn 2007 he signed a contract with the music publisher Nesola. In December 2007, under his other pseudonym Marsimoto, he accompanied Jan Delay as tour support. In spring 2008 he signed a label deal with Four Music (owned by Sony Music Entertainment).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wir scheiß Ossis versauen euch den Tag
Scheiß Ossis, wir sind die, die keiner fragt
Wir scheiß Ossis
Heut ziehen wir blank am FKK (eh)
Ja, der Campingplatz brennt (Rot)
Bier vor Talent
As best as you can (wouh)
Ja, ihr fühlt euch ganz groß
Doch wir haben auch ein Frankfurt
Ihr seid der goldene Handschuh
Wir randalieren im Sonderzug nach Pankow
Komm, geht ihr schön zum Bowling
Fahrt Snowboard, ich geh' zum Turmspringen
Bin stark wie die Rechte von Henry
Mann, ich war mit sechs schon auf Doping, yeah
Der Osten erobert die Welt
Rammstein, Tokio Hotel
Die Prinzen, FiNCH, Kraftklub, Tretti
Und ihr seid nur buntes Konfetti (wouh)
Hurra, hurra
Wir scheiß Ossis versauen euch den Tag
Scheiß Ossis, wir sind die, die keiner fragt
Wir scheiß Ossis
Heut ziehen wir blank am FKK (yeah)
Ich brauch' kei'm Gott was beweisen
Wir haben Rostock und Meißen
Buch nie wieder Florida-Reisen
Wir haben Tropical Island
Les' nur noch Rügen-Presse
Eure Probleme? Nur ein müdes Lächeln
Ihr fahrt mit Porsche zum Ball (wrmm)
Doch wir waren vor euch im All (wouh)
Los, folgt einfach der Rauchspur (come on)
Herrentag, immer drauf, immer Sauftour
Nur Stress, Sorgen für Aufruhr (yeah)
Immer Sorgen, doch grüßen im Hausflur
Ihr trinkt Sex on the Beach
Ich kauf' Rotkäppchen-Sekt und ein kleines Kotelett in Aspik
Ja, wir sind von gestern
Doch wer hat hier die Tesla-Fabrik, heh? (Wouh)
Hurra, hurra
Wir scheiß Ossis versauen euch den Tag
Scheiß Ossis, ja, wir lieben die Gefahr
Wir scheiß Ossis
Heut ziehen wir blank am FKK
Sind euer schlechtes Gewissen

Ihr fahrt Auto, wir driften
Und aus Polen sind die Kippen
Dieses Land immer noch zwei Teile
Lasst das ma' ändern, ist doch scheiße
Ihr besteht nicht nur aus Schönen und Reichen
Tief in euch drin seid ihr Schalke
The song "SCHEISS OSSIS" by Marteria is a provocative and humorous take on the stereotypes associated with eastern Germans. The song's lyrics suggest that Ossis, a derogatory term used to refer to people from the former East Germany, are not as wealthy or successful as their western counterparts. However, the song also highlights the unique spirit and culture of the Eastern German people.
The opening line, "Hurra, hurra, wir scheiß Ossis versauen euch den Tag" (Hooray, hooray, we shitty Ossis ruin your day), sets the tone for the rest of the song. Marteria is essentially saying that Eastern Germans do not care about the opinions or perceptions of those from the West. The song then goes on to list various examples of Eastern German culture, from camping and hiking to Rostock and Meißen, and even includes a reference to a popular sparkling wine brand from the region.
