Sido

About

Paul Hartmut Würdig (born 30 November 1980), better known as Sido, is a German rapper. He interprets his stage name as "super-intelligentes Drogenopfer" (super-intelligent drug victim). It originally stood for "Scheiße in dein Ohr" (shit into your ear), a line from his track "Terroarr". Sido is known for his provocative and aggressive lyrics. After gaining prominence with his debut album Maske in 2004, he became recognisable for wearing a silver skull mask. However, he stopped wearing the mask in 2005. Würdig's career began in 1997 as one half of the duo Royal TS (now A.i.d.S) with B-Tight. Both were initially signed to the Berlin hip hop label Royal Bunker before joining Aggro Berlin in 2001. As of 2009, Sido has been signed to Urban/Universal Music Group.
