Timeline

2016

On February 27, 2016, Sidney formed a non-partisan group called "Mutashi Movement" with the motto "Arise for the Future." The aim of the group was to educate the youth about their rights, freedoms, and role in democracy. The group organized a series of activities including "Total Support for Black Stars" and the It's your Right to Vote campaign, as well as partaking in the Chalewote Festival 2016.

2012

Fɔrso Ye No Saa was released in 2012 with two hit tracks: "Enkɔ yie" and "Awuchie Kpɔngɔ." His singles as a solo artist started with "Ebobɔba (Gadindim Gadem)" in 2012, and "Ebobɔba Reloaded" in 2013.

2008

African ruling parties who used "Africa Monie" as a campaign song include Burkina Faso's Congress for Democracy and Progress; Equatorial Guinea's Democratic Party; Côte d'Ivoire's Rally of the Republicans; and just recently, Nigeria's All Progressives Congress. These political parties all followed the lead of Ghana's National Democratic Congress, which unofficially used the song in the campaign against President Kuffuor's regime to win the 2008 Presidential Election.

2004

The controversy with Sidney's music grew with his 2004 album Obiaa Nye Obiaa, which addressed the debate about equality in society. There was a break after this album where he researched for a year on how to break through in Francophone countries with his music. He released the album Africa Monie in the latter part of 2007. This breakthrough led him to tour and perform in several African countries like Benin, Cameroon, and Chad.

In 2004, Sidney kicked off his tour in Africa. He performed in several different countries and cities in Africa, including Liberia, Togo, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Chad, Mali, Ivorian Coast, Burkina Faso, and Benin. He also performed at the Afro-pop Festival in Amsterdam in 2004 and toured in some cities and states in Italy including Modena, Napoli, and Brescia. In the United Kingdom, Sidney has performed in London, Milton Keynes, Luton, Leeds, and in Germany he toured around Cologne, Hamburg, and Stuttgart. Barima Sidney has toured in most European countries, including Switzerland.

2003

Sidney often raps in his native language Twi, and is considered a controversial and political rapper due to his songs critical of political parties and leaders. He became the first Ghanaian hiplife artist to perform with a live band in Ghana with his performance named "HIP LIVE." "Abuskeleke" was his first hiplife song to be sung live, and as a result was branded the title track of his 2003 album. "Scɛnti Noo," or "Scent Noo," was a controversial hit song that talked about immoral professions.

Sidney has been very active in politics, branding himself as a strong supporter of certain political parties. In 2003, "Scɛnti Noo" was used as a campaign song by the New Patriotic Party during their tangle with the National Democratic Congress, an opposition party which was then in power, over its rights in the run-up to Ghana's 2004 election. Though the song was released in 2003, it gained popularity in 2004; "Scɛnti Noo" was New Patriotic Party candidate John Kuffour's slogan on which he rode to victory.

Sidney was also part of the Child Soldier Campaign, which was launched in Liberia in 2003. "Give them the Pen, and not the Gun" is a song which he dedicated to all child soldiers in the world, especially in Africa. It features Dr. Kaunda, his lyrical partner, and King Ayisoba, a traditional musician.

2001

Since 2001, Sidney has contributed to the Ghanaian music industry with his songs on socio-political issues and has performed in Ghana and abroad.

Sidney gained his early fame in 2001 when he released his debut album, Tinana. The album did very well, and was followed by his sophomore album, Akofna (2003). It featured the controversial song "Abuskeleke." The song became an anthem, and was used to describe short, skimpy or provocative dresses. Sidney describes its meaning as "good investment," which has also been thought to mean investing in prostitution.
