Genesis
editAfter the enormous success of Sexion d'Assaut, the various members of the group embark on solo projects. If Lefa and Barack Adama are withdrawing from the music industry, this is not the case for Gims who, in 2013, released his first album Subliminal which was a public success with around 1,100,000 copies sold. In 2014, Black M in turn embarked on a solo career with the release of his album Les yeux plus gros que le monde, which sold just under 900,000 copies.
Building on the success of his predecessors, Maska also undertook to make an album. It is Gims who reveals, during his Planète Rap which is dedicated to him, the return of Maska in solo.[5]

Your boss fires you, you're afraid, it's going to be fine. you are sick, it will be fine.
