Life

Rim'K was born in the southern Parisian suburb of Vitry -sur -Seine, but his family is originally from Barbacha in Algeria.

At the age of 14, he collected together with AP and Mokobé his first experience as a rapper in Vitry and Orly and fell to with catchy beats and lyrics about life in the suburbs beyond the usual cliches. Soon they were joined by the formation Mafia K'1 Fry and founded in 1996 the group 113, named after the house number of a building in Camille Groult (district of Vitry -sur- Seine), where the three spent a lot of time in their youth.

In 1997 they released their first EP Ni barreaux, barrières ni, ni frontières, two years later their first album Les Princes de la ville that sold 450,000 times, making it widely known. The second album 113 fout la merde (2002) was only a moderate success and was replaced in 2003 by the remix album 113 dans l' urgence, which had a major commercial success.

Meanwhile Rim'K had in addition to working with Mafia K'1 Fry 113 and completed enough texts to record his first solo album: L' enfant du pays ( 2004).

Then not only Raptitel as Trop puissant but also slower songs find some also under the influence of African folklore or R'n'B.

The case was closed due to a technicality, probably among other things, due to lack of support of the then Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and fierce opposition from left-wing politician. This threw Gros Didier turn from racism and the reintroduction of censorship.
