Biography
The German musician Bushido is known thanks to its gangster rap-style tracks, and also to constant participation in scandals associated with fights, racist statements, and ties with mafia groupings.Despite the impartiality of the charges in his address, the rapper is not trying to refute them, remaining faithful to his style - he insults journalists, quarrels with colleagues, grows politicians and continues to write aggressive and obscene texts. All this does not prevent Bushido to sell plates by millionic circulations and remain the most popular performer in Germany.
Childhood and youth
Rapper was born in 1978 in the German city of Bonn. His real name is Anis Mohammed Yusef Ferchichi - is associated with Arabic roots, since the father is from Tunisia. But the mother, the singer Louise-Maria Engel - a purebred German. It was she who alone brought up the sons of Anisa and Serszhan after a divorce with her husband who left them when the future musician was not 3 years old. However, the children visited the Islamic school and studied the Quran.
The family moved to Berlin, where Bushido's childhood passed. The guy grew independent and bold and early began to have problems with the law. Already at the age of 14, Anis gentled by drugs, for which he was detained by the police.
Among other things, the teenager was accused of vandalism and promised a decent period if he disagrees correctional work. So the young man was in the painting workshop, where he began to engage in the varnishing of furniture. The paints became one of the hobbies of the future musician, and that seriously took up graffiti.
At this work, the young man met another "problem" guy - Patrick Lozensky, who will be glorified under the FLER pseudonym and becomes a bushido colleague on a musical label. Forced work did not forced Anisa to take up the mind - he did not graduate from school, the hooligan chassis did not change.
Music
The guy began the musical career in the late 90s, taking the pseudonym Bushido, that in Japanese means "samurai path". Another name, under which the artist knows - Sonny Black.At first, the singer released a cassette demo-registration, the first full-fledged album "King of Kingz" was released in 2001, in 2003 reissued on the CD, and a year later supplemented by remixes and heading "Exclusive 2004 Edition". The debut did not remain unnoticed, and in connection with the hard content, the record was banned from selling in Germany.
Already here, Anis voiced the topics that have become permanent in his work, and sings about drugs, weapons and prostitutes, not embarrassed in expressions. Starting to cooperate with the Studio Aggro Berlin, the popularity of the Rapper soon opens its own ErsguterJunge label.
There, the performer writes new discs, continuing to work in the style of Gangsta Rap. "VOM Bordstein Bis Zur Skyline" (2003) was also seized from sale, and 3 tracks from it were included in the list of prohibited, since drugs and violence were promoted, insulting women, disabled people and homosexuals.

On RPER's account, tens of albums written solo and in collaboration with other performers. The release of "Zeiten Ändern dich", "Jenseits Von Gut Und Böse" and "Black Friday" is already preceded by the impatience of fans, and they quickly acquire the status of the most-selling disks of Europe. And songs "ALLES WIRD GUT", "PANAMERA FLOW", "ES TUT MIR SO LEID" and "UNSTERBLICH" continue to tell the story of a coarse guy who knows everything about the gangster life of German outgrows.

Attachment and criticism, the artist reacts relaxed and even mockingly, not trying to justify and take his words back.
For the texts of songs, the guy is incriminated to homophobia, racism, mensenavitricality, Islamism and anti-Semitism, but he continues to make tough music for "bad guys."

This Mesallians lasted for a long time, but ceased due to discrepancy in views.Since 2012, the wife of the singer has become the Anna-Maria Lagerblel model, which before that met with the German national football player with Mesil Mesil and even accepted Islam for him.
