His infectious flow, great sense of humor, a huge repertoire of controversial themes and of course his skull mask are SIDO´s trademarks.
Sido´s video clip Weihnachtssong put Aggro Berlin nationwide on the map and marked the beginning of the label´s success story. SIDO´s first album Die Maske was released in spring 2004 and went straight No. 3 of the German album charts selling over 100.000 copies and reaching gold status within a short time.

FLER:
FLER the AGGROBERLINA is a rebel without a pause with a I-don´t-give-fuck-attitude. Growing up as a German kid in a bad neighborhood with mainly non-German citizens, he was fully accepted in his hood and learned to live and survive in the streets and represent his own kind. Being an underground hero in Berlin with mad rap skillz FLER signed a record deal with Aggro Berlin in 2003 and started to rap his way to the top of the German rap scene. In Mai 2005 it was FLER´s time to shine. His debut album Neue Deutsche Welle peaked at No. 5 and the single NDW 2005 entered the Top 10 charts. His first solo releases were surrounded by a lot of controversy because the media assumed that he supported Arian rap since he always emphasized in his lyrics that he was proud to be German and the artwork of his releases often included strong German symbols. But FLER proved them wrong by showing everybody where he comes from and who he is. These allegations made him stronger and nobody can fuck with him. He is one of the most influential rappers in Germany and sets trends with his unique style. Releases:
