He is one of Germany’s most successful solo rap musicians while also releasing albums as a member of two separate crews, Dynamite Deluxe (with DJ Dynamite aka Joni Rewind and Tropf) and ASD (with Afrob). He recently started his own record label, Deluxe Records. The beats of his record "Verdammtnochma" (Goddamnit!) were mainly made by US producers, which gives the record a very American sound.

Childhood:
Samy Deluxe grew up with his mothers family as his Sudanese father left Germany when Samy was just two years old. Shortly after this event his half-sister was born. After living in Barmbek for many years they then moved to Eppendorf, a generally better-off suburb of Hamburg. Given this contrast - he certainly did not come from a well-off background - and his constant problems at school with teachers who he often defied, he looked for a release and a way to express himself away from school. He soon discovered music.

Style:
Samy modelled himself on American hip hop. This gave him a great sense of caring for his family, although he boasts of having had a good relationship with his mother and the people who looked after him. He practised all year long writing lyrics and spitting them, he has outstanding freestyling skills. Even his fiercest rivals have admitted that he is one of the best Freestylers in Germany.

Audacious and eloquent, Samy initially chose an aggressive style, based on imaginative use of metaphors, complex overlapping rhymes and his own melodic flow. He favours constructing contantly changing pictures rather than telling long stories. Critics find fault with his limited content and repetitive subjects, but Sam Semillia (as he calls himself, taken from the non-toxis form of the cannabis plant, Sinsemilia) has responded by saying that he can only rap in the style and about the subjects that feel real to him.

Starting Out:
Before working with Dynamite Deluxe he was a member of German Hip Hop group "No Nonsens". He became very well known due to his many guest appearances on the CDs put out by hip hop artists such as Freundeskreis, the Stieber Twins, Main Concept, Eins Zwo, Ferris MC, Absolute Beginner, Das Bo and 5 Sterne Deluxe. It was the latter group in particular that he performed many concerts with. He also took it upon himself to do the festivals all over Germany in order to make a name for himself.

Wenn das hier nicht das Mixtape des Jahres ist,
dann weiß ich auch nicht mehr was in Deutschland kaputt ist.
Dies ist DELUXE.
Yeah Dashenn hier von den Headliners
hör zu:
ich will einfach nur der Welt erzählen wie ich fühl:
immer nur am planen weil es heißt freu dich nie zu früh,
egal was ich erreich, ich will’s sofort wieder toppen,
kann nie abschalten, und entspannen nicht einmal vollkommen besoffen.
und manche sehn mich als Genie,
andere bloß als workaholik.
Andre wiederum sehn mich als assig als gestört und prollig.
und es tut mir leid wenn es nicht jeder versteht,
ich reflektier bloß die Realität.
was soll ich sagen
das ist die art wie wir leben,
die art wie wir reden,
die art wie wir uns auf der Straße bewegen.
so ist es eben (jap).
Die art wie wir die Welt wahrnehmen ohne plan A und plan B,
schau wie beschissen wir dasteh'n.
Und es tut mir leid dass 60% der Jugend kifft.
Dass du die Fakten die ich hier rapp nicht in der schule kriegst.
dass mein Slang nicht ganz korrekt laut unserem Duden ist
und tut mir leid dass ich der beste Rapper bin seit pures gift.

Und es tut mir leid dass es nicht jeder versteht –

Was soll ich sagen ich

Bald hat jedes gottverdammte land der Welt Atomwaffen.
Eigentlich sind wir am Arsch wir brauchen uns nichts vormachen.
Und trotzdem schreib ich Lieder die die Leute froh machen,

Und sag ihn kopf hoch Leute wir werdens' schon schaffen,

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Samy Deluxe's song "Blinded" express his belief that if this mixtape is not the best of the year, then he does not know what is wrong with Germany. In this song, he focuses on reflecting the reality of the society we live in. He reveals that he is constantly planning because he has been advised not to be too happy too soon. He says he is never able to fully relax or even when drunk, and is always trying to top anything that he achieves. Samy is aware that some people see him as a genius, while others see him solely as a workaholic. However, he is simply reflecting the reality of his life, the way they perceive the world around them and how they move around in it.

Samy also points out some of the challenges in the society such as drug addiction, anorexia, jealousy, and frustration. He apologizes that 60% of the youth smoke weed and that the educational curriculum does not include the facts revealed in his music. He acknowledges that his slang is not accurate according to Duden's standard, but he makes it clear that he is the best rapper since Pures Gift. He admits he understands that not everybody will agree with him or be happy with the message he dishes, but he is only reflecting reality. Despite the challenges the society is facing, he offers words of encouragement, encouraging them to keep their heads up and hold onto their dreams because they will make it through.

Samy's song "Blinded" offers insights into the challenges of society, while his rap style is poetic in its tone, touching upon real-life struggles that many people face. He addresses some of the gravest issues of our time while offering encouragement and hope to those going through hard times. Samy's lyrics teach life lessons, and they serve as a guide for people working to build a better world.
