Arturo Bruni (born 13 September 1994), known professionally as Side Baby, is an Italian rapper and former member of Dark Polo Gang.
Biography Son of the Italian director and screenwriter Francesco Bruni, he played a role in the 2011 film Easy! and 2017 film Everything You Want, both written and directed by his father. He was a member of the Roman trap group Dark Polo Gang from 2014 to 2018.
The following month he starts publishing content on social media, especially SoundCloud, under the name of Side Baby (or even as Arturo), thus removing the "Dark" prefix. In April 2019, he released his first album for Universal Music, which takes its title from his first name, Arturo. His second studio album, Il ritorno del vero, was released in 2021.
On 13 September 2024, he released Leggendario. The album is described as being aligned with Side Baby's roots by maintaining his stylistic signature. The album includes multiple well-known Italian producers on its tracks.
On 13 March 2026, he released CRACK MUSICA II in collaboration with Tony Effe. The album debuted at the top of the album charts and the best-selling vinyl charts on the week of its release, in the week calculated from March 12 to March 19. It is a sequel to the first mixtape, CRACK MUSICA, released ten years prior in 2016 by Dark Polo Gang. The release of this sequel mixtape also led to the first CRACK MUSICA mixtape reaching rank twelve on the charts and third among vinyls.
