Sidney Duteil
Encyclopedia
Sidney Duteil better known as Sidney, is a French
musician, rapper, DJ, television and radio host, and occasional actor. He is well known in France for his connection with the beginnings of the French hip hop
scene. In 1984, he was the host of the popular weekly French Rap television show entitled H.I.P. H.O.P.
This was significant for two reasons: first because Duteil became the first Black man in France to hold such a position, and secondly because the birth and eventual popularity of the weekly show demonstrated the growing admiration and involvement in the French population in hip hop culture.
