Sido distinguishes himself through uncomfortable, provocative, aggressive lyrics. He often wears a silver mask.

The name is an abbreviation that is spelled as "super-intelligentes Drogenopfer" = "super intelligent drug victim". However this is the new interpretation while originally the name did spell as "Scheisse in Dein Ohr" = "shit (goes) into your ears".

In 2004, Sido's debut album, "Maske" ("Mask"), sold more than 100,000 copies in less than a month. In September of that year, the rapper won a prestigious German music award for "Best Newcomer". The best known song from that album, "Mein Block", describes life in the Maerkisches Viertel, a ghetto-like district of Berlin.

Sido has been spurting a lot of controversies. Most of his personal information is kept under blankets, not even the personal name or birthday is being confirmed by official records. Rumours say that the stage person is fully fictitious including its alleged background in a criminal ghetto. While some of his provocative aggressive songs have been banned many fans like to interpret the lyrics as a satirical on widespread prejudices about the life in so-called "problem districts".

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sido's song "Peilerman & Flow Teil 3" start with a conversation between two individuals regarding their thoughts on rapper Azad. One of them initially misunderstands and thinks they are talking about car tires, but they eventually clarify and discuss the rapper. One of them mentions that sometimes they need an "Azadmoah" (a play on the word "Assistenzarzt" which means resident physician), and the other makes a joke about him playing for the German football team Schalke. The final line is a wordplay on the German alphabet, stating that if you have A-zad (the letter A), then you must also have B-zad (the letter B).
