new music

at least it's new to me, courtesy of cousin robert---mc solaar, doing rap and hip/hop in french---


MC Solaar is the stage name of francophone hip hop and rap artist Claude M'Barali (born March 5, 1969 in Dakar, Senegal to parents from Chad). Solaar is by far one of the most internationally popular and influential French rappers.[1],[2]
As a rapper MC Solaar is known for the complexity, which rely on wordplay, lyricism, and philosophical inquiry. The music is based on dance rhythms. In the English-speaking world, Solaar was signed by London acid jazz label Talkin' Loud and invited to record with British group Urban Species and Guru, a member of the famous and highly-acclaimed New York group Gang Starr. He has since released six records and one live album and currently resides with his wife, French actress ChloƩ Bensemoun, and their only son, Roman.
