Marseille rapper Saïd M'Roumbaba aka Soprano delivers a positive message, mixing angular, rolling and melodic flows. Coming up, he founded the group Psy 4 de la Rime, seeing their albums Enfants de la Lune and Block Party achieve gold status within weeks of release. His solo debut came in 2006 with the cathartic mixtape Psychanalyse Avant l'Album, quickly succeeded by the high-calibre studio album Puisqu'il Faut Vivre. Influences from West African music and American R&B feed into his creative vision, forging the potent crossover sound that puts Soprano at the forefront of French popular music.
