-Hi.
-Oh, Sara. Are you doing well? -Yeah, totally.
-How are you, Fatou?
-Well rested? -Yeah.
-Cool. Fatou. -How are you, Sara?
-Come whenever you want, and we'll work on it. Ah!
Sara, come see, please.
Naps, do you know Lalpha?
-Of course, I know her. How are you? I saw your clip with Alonzo.
Heavy, I loved it.
-Thanks, that means a lot. I love your verse in "Bande organisée."
-Thanks, that's nice.
-How's it going, bro?
I heard you re-signed with Cicheman at Butcuss Music.
-That's right, you know everything.
-I told you, if you're ever unhappy there,
we're here. -OK.
Thanks anyway, that's heavy. -No problem.
-I'll call you tonight. -Let's do that.
Inès, big up.
-We want to talk to you about something with Inès.
-Are we going inside?
-Let's go.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
We have good news to tell you.
-The clip with Alonzo made a good buzz, you caught the eye
of GQ. -Really?
-They're doing their top 10 rappers to watch in 2021.
You're on the preliminary list, you're among 20.
-With Inès,
we thought of a strategy to get you into the top 10.
-OK.
-The clip did well, but you were invited.
You need to get people talking about you.
-Small interviews.
4-5, no more.
-But what kind of media?
-Not too big for now. We come in and naturally boost
your buzz.
-Your entry into the game will intrigue specialized media.
They won't risk missing out on a new talent.
-Everyone will talk about you and listen to your music.
-OK, but how do we
do the recording?
-We can stop for 2-3 days.
-Isn't it annoying?
-No, I'm going to work on some projects. When you come back, we're ready.
Sara, they're right.
It would be huge if you were
on this list.
Go for it.
-That would be awesome.
But I've never done interviews.
-Don't worry, we'll prepare that together.
-OK. -Alright.
-Shall we get started? -Let's go.
-Let's go, we're leaving. -See you later.
Do you need me for the interviews?
-No, don't worry, I got this. -OK.
How do you know about his life in Marseille before Paris?
-Not much, why?
-Just in case there's stuff I should know.
-I'm not going to speak for her.
But if she hasn't told you,
it's none of your business.
And do you know why Cicheman suddenly loves Yamar's rap?
-I don't know more than you.
He must be struggling for artists.
-Is he trying to
settle scores?
-No, the fights are over. It's behind us.
-You better mean it, William. I committed to this.
And you too. -Yes.
-Huh? -Yeah, I told you.
Damn, I need to call him back.
*-Gives one last look and closes my jacket
I'm stronger alone
We cut, we cash in
It's chaos in the van
Easy money We know how to do it
We can do without your comments
I'm still here
Determined, worn down, worn down Throw again, throw again
Bundles by hundreds, thousands
I'm still here
I'm still here, determined Worn down, worn down
Throw again, throw again Bundles by hundreds, thousands
Heavy, heavy, it kills his mother. -When does he get out?
-For now, we're not releasing him. -What?
Did you crack or what?
-Sorry, guys, I did my part of the deal.
-We told you, we're going to shut them down, Apash Music.
-I see their rapper,
she released a clip with Alonzo.
And she's recording her album.
Calm down.
-Didn't you understand what he told you?
His album,
she won't release it. We need to move forward with our project.
-It doesn't work like that.
-You want to act like the mafia? -We've made announcements.
People are waiting for the clip.
-Guys, I paid for the clip.
For the songs, I matched you with AlHatif.
The lyrics weren't strong enough, I paid someone
to rewrite them, I'm still paying for the studio.
So, from now on,
as long as you don't fulfill your part of the contract, nothing will come out.
...
-Boss?
-Hello, Nasser.
It's 11:09,
you have a 72-hour permit.
You need to be there exactly at 11:09.
In case of delay, it's placement in disciplinary detention
and a presentation before the JAP, understood?
Sign the two documents.
And I’ll give you your belongings for your permit.
Thanks, I’ll give you a copy
that you'll need to show during a check.
Have a good permit.
...
-Thank you.
We have Le Mouv confirming us.
Konbini too, Trace TV
wants to do a profile on you, they have a big community.
Is that OK with you? -Yeah, perfect.
Will I get the questions beforehand? -No, why?
-I didn't say, but I’m wary of the media.
Their annoying questions, it’s going to bother me.
-It's part of the game, they want to know your background.
-That's my private life, I don't want to talk about it.
-The less you want to say, the more they'll dig.
-I only talk about music, that's how I am.
-It's up to you.
You can always try to dodge, but it's risky.
I suggest you take the lead, control your story.
-OK. OK, I follow you.
But I’m not talking
about Liam.
-OK. OK, understood.
Is he well-behaved today?
-Yeah, if you knew...
-I doubt it, I see his devilish face.

...
-Someone wants to see you outside. -Who is it?
-I can't say.
-What do you mean?
Come on, guys, let's go.
Is that him? -Yeah.
-Damn...
Stay here.
-We’re going to talk. Your guy has a good jaw.
I came to tell you, Mastar is under my protection.
Forget about it.
-Who do you think you're talking to?
A little guy?
-It's simple.
Put away your gun,
let's finish the discussion.
Or act and take responsibility.
-I'm not going to take responsibility?
You think I won't take responsibility?
Prayer in Arabic
-I'm ready.
I am at your mercy, shoot.
Shoot.
Come on.
Shoot.
Shoot!
What did you think, huh?
So far, you've only been a coward.
-What do you want?
-Mastar is recording an album in my studio.
Either you let us work,
or it's war.
-And what about my money?
-For your money, you give him time to recover, is that clear?
Is that clear?
-Yeah, fine.
Come on, guys, let's go.
-Who are you for?
-For you. -Huh?
-For you. -There.
-It's been 10 years since you last won.
And 13 defeats in the Champions League.
-It's a crisis. Anyway, never the first. It's us.
-The first of what?
Losing 13 times in the Champions League. You're wrecked.
-We have a star. -It's not the star that counts.
-What is it? -The love of beautiful play.
-Guys, I’m here.
-Brahim! -Hey.
-How are you doing?
-Your face is missed in the neighborhood.
-I missed you. -You've lost weight.
-Oh yeah? -No way.
-The bastard.
What's up, mysterious guy?
-Come, I'll explain everything.
-His nanny is here.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
-You know, he's always on the move.
-It won't last long.
-Does Yamar still come to the neighborhood?
-It's been a while since we've seen him.
-Since he's been doing his thing
with music.
-And is it going well?
-I think it's going well. -Yes.
-He recruited some kids from my building.
-They're all working for him.
Forget it, brother.
-And Kamel and Souleymane, do they still come by?
-I don't know, it's been a while since we've seen them.
-They disappeared.
-Thanks, guys, I gotta go.
-Well...
*-Where are you from? Where did you grow up?
*-I grew up in several foster homes, in Paris, Marseille,
in the suburbs of Paris, in the south.
You could say I've traveled around a bit.
*-Who made you want to come back to rap?
*-Apash Music.
They have the right arguments to motivate me again.
And they knew how to trust me.
*-Has rap been missed over the past 5 years?
*-For sure, of course. I kept writing.
I tried to refine my style.
But I realized I needed a real job.
But rap always catches up with you.
-Sorry for being late.
-No worries. -Can we use first names?
-Of course. Sit down. -Thank you very much.
Ah...
It's an honor for me to meet you.
Your clip with Alonzo is fire.
-Thanks, that’s nice.
-So, how's the recording of your album going?
-It's going really well.
We have 3 tracks finalized and the rest will be soon.
-You're the first signing of Apash Music.
Did they ask for girl rap
to try to get a niche?
-No, they didn't tell me anything. What is girl rap?
We don't say male rap. I do rap, that's all.
-Why are female rappers underrepresented in the game?
Do you have an explanation?
-I think it's progressing well.
The truth is, when you're a girl,
you have to release twice as heavy tracks,
and get everyone on your side, like Diam's did.
-We see few women in open-mics,
for example,
even though it's open to everyone. Are they afraid to participate?
-Honestly, I don't know.
I'm not the spokesperson for female rappers in France.
I’m not afraid.
-Okay.
Does that mean you'd comfortably face guys?
-Like I told you, I don't make a difference.
Guy or girl, if you challenge me to a battle, I go,
and I can shut some down.
-Okay, very good.
Tell me about your influences in rap.
Did any rappers inspire your songs?
-Yeah, definitely, but I’m more old school.
...
-So?
-My guys told me Yamar is holding the city like never before.
Like five sales points, customers from everywhere,
loyal guys.
-And that's all?
-No, they also showed me his nanny.
But she keeps moving around.
-And what about Kamel and Souleymane?
-Yeah, I asked.
My friends haven't seen them in a long time.
-I don't give a damn, you need to find them.
I can only do that with them.
-It's too risky, they'll set me up.
-And your balls, huh?
And your balls, where are they?
Here.
With this, you won't have any more problems.
Come on, get lost.
And keep me posted about Kamel and Souleymane.
Horn honking
-And you're just a driver. -Yeah, don't worry.
-How are you? -I'm good, and you?
-A little surprise.
-Huh?
-And your driver.
Ant. -What's this story?
-A guy from Mastar introduced him to me. You won't have any more transport worries
and you'll be able to move around freely.
-Hi, Lalpha. I'm Fourmi.
At your service.
-Nice to meet you. Fourmi, that's stylish, where does it come from?
-Don't worry. He's nice, really.
-Thanks, that's crazy. What's the occasion?
-To celebrate your first radio. -No way...
That's crazy.
-Are you okay? Are you doing well?
-It's out now.
-The son of a bitch!
I didn't say that
like that. -Those bastards...
*-It seems that Lalpha eats guys in battles.
She thinks she's untouchable. It's easy to talk like that.
Tomorrow, we're organizing
a Rap Contenders with my guys, in Montreuil.
If you're so strong, come shut us down.
Let's see if you only have talk.
-Is he also coming at me?
-Sara, don't pay attention.
-The guy is known. He's challenging me, what should I do?
-Forget it, who is this guy? He's nobody.
Who cares. Focus on the show.
-Oh, Inès.
-Oumar. -How's it going?
Good? Long time no see? -Yeah.
-Good? -Yeah, it's fine.
-Sara, come here.
Lalpha, let me introduce Oumar.
-Nice to meet you.
-He's one of the biggest producers in French rap.
-That's what they say.
-And how.
Who are you with? -I'm with Dinos. In the studio.
-I hope he'll be nice to my girl.
-As usual.
-See you later?
-See you soon. -Yeah, take care.
Don't worry, it'll go well. You'll handle this.
*-Hello everyone,
this is Salma on Mouv'. Welcome to those tuning in.
Today, we're hosting Lalpha, the first signed artist of
Apash Music, you've probably seen her
in Alonzo's music video. We fully support her here.
How are you?
-Great. Very happy to be here.
-How was it to make a track with Alonzo?
-It was crazy, I loved it.
-You're amazing.
-Thanks. -And you, Dinos, did you listen?
-Yeah, honestly, I loved it, flow, technique...
You surprised me.
-Thank you very much. -I kind of have to
jump in on that. Do you think you'll shut them down?
-Oh, okay.
Are you saying that for the article?
I see you're connected.
-Always. Dinos, did you see the article?
-Yeah, I think it's very honorable
to have this attitude
and to stand out.
-Thanks, and the journalist
slightly distorted
my words. -Seriously?
-I say that in battles, guy or girl, there's no difference.
-Indeed, it's a different version.
-It's okay, it's part of the game.
It helps me understand how the media works.
-We saw Badsam inviting you
to his Rap Contenders.
-Yeah, I saw.
-If you're not afraid,
are you going to go?
-For sure.
They invite me, I go. No problem.
-Yeah, my reuss.
That's how you have to be.
Take them all down one by one. -I'll try, at least.
-We'll see after the track from Lalpha and Alonzo.
Turn up the volume.
*-AMG63 I ride on their laws
-It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
*-Life is about choices I go straight ahead
-Wesh, Brahim.
-Wesh, how are you?
You came back early.
I saw, Lalpha got smoked
on social media.
-She agreed to do Badsam's Rap Contenders.
-Hot, when is it?
-Tomorrow night.
What's that?
-It's nothing, don't worry.
-You've gone crazy. Where did you get that?
-It's Mounir.
-Where do you see Mounir? What does he want from you?
-He wants to go back to the neighborhood.
-What do you want me to do with that?
-To defend myself.
-Don't get involved in trouble, we don't need that.
-We're already in trouble.
With Yamar.
Did you forget Marseille?
-No, I didn't forget, I took some security.
-Where's your guy? -With Lalpha.
-I decided we need to defend ourselves, brother.
-Are you the one handling this?
You're going
to take out Yamar?
-And you, are you going to let him smoke you like Clément?
...
He hits.
-Hi.
-Oh, Mastar.
How's it going? -How's it? Good?
Come, let me introduce you to my engineer.
Clide. -Clide.
He played me what you were working on. Honestly, heavy.
-Thanks. I also liked what you did with Sno.
We've already worked together. -Thanks, that's kind.
-Man, that guy over there is going to slap you, you bastard.
-Stop that. -A slap dispenser.
No, genius.
-I hope so. There's a big album to deliver.
-Come on, let's go. Starting tomorrow, you're at home, here.
Like I told you, don't stress about the other one.
I turned it off. -OK.
-He'll leave you alone to work. We're making progress.
-Thanks, you nailed it. I won't forget what you did for me.
-Normal. Come on, let's go.
Clide, send the production from yesterday.
-It's done, I laid it down.
Are you ready?
Girl, you're not going to go out like that?
-Why not?
-You're not very stylish.
-I'm screwed anyway.
Too sexy, people will say I'm a prostitute and in tracksuit, that I look bad.
-Put on some concealer. You look like a panda.
-I don't care, anyway.
I'm going as I am. I'm going to finish them off.

She cracks her vertebrae Through her mouth

Shh.
-ALADOUM, ALADOUM! *-Noise, noise.
-ALADOUM, ALADOUM, ALADOUM!
*-The winner of this battle
is Aladoum.
Make some noise for Aladoum.
Cheers and applause
Now, let's move on to the second battle of the evening.
She accepted the invitation,
it's the first signing of Apash Music.
Make as much noise as possible for Lalpha.
Cheers and applause
...
His opponent withdrew.
We've brought in a new contender.
He just signed with Butcuss Records.
His DTR music video is coming out soon
on social media.
Make some noise
for Yamar.
...
-What is he doing here? -Look.
It's Rico, he screwed us over.
*-The draw has spoken.
Yamar, you decide.
*-Honor to the ladies.
-HOU...
*-Lalpha, whenever you're ready.
*-You look like a misogynist thug
Clearly, you need an update
Yamar 2020
Download in progress
-OH!
*-You will respect
The ladies and watch your role, spa
Behind every man, there's a woman
But in your case, we can't see her
You're petty, into bodybuilding, you dodge
I saw his ID card
His middle name
Is Miskine
Your eyes play ping-pong
Your ears are a dead-end
-What is he doing here?
*-In your head, there are 10 of you
But none of you have a high school diploma
Usually, you're not here
And no one is disappointed If you hear a big sound
For sure, Yamar,
He's not involved
-That's good. *-You have no taste in fashion
You're a rebeu from Limousin
Even your aunt accepts you
ap
She tells others He's her neighbor
You have no flair
For business You want to appear as a baron
I respect you I don't f**k your mother
She might think I'm your dad
Cheers
-She killed him.
...
*-Yamar, are you hyped or what?
-Come on.
*-Wesh, but you have no style
Laughter
From the side, it looks like my credit card
Smells like shit
No one will buy your CD
You think you're the queen But you haven't decided anything
Not even your old label
Which bears the name of a deceased rapper
I think there's something We need to look into
Did you tell everything To your son?
Son, I'm going to tell you A story that gives chills
Well, let's say
It's because of mom That dad is in prison
If anyone here tells me
That he listens to his songs It's definitely a lie
You've seen more kilometers of queue
Than a McDonald's after lockdown
Cheers
...
With your old man look
You even scare away vibrators
No eins, no uc
I don't know if I should call you My brother or my sister
You, it's obvious You have no honor
In 2 months, you'll be a star
But your career will flop Like Maya the Bee
AKA Mastar
For me, rap is just the beginning
I haven't let go of the dogs yet
Very few know but you did The worst dirt, let go of his
Because you're a body shattered on the ground
Even your son didn't want You to breastfeed him
You have no team, no chest
You have the body of a SIM card
When you take the mic, you slip
Everyone eats you up like tiep Or your cat
If you rapped as well As you peep
You would be double platinum
I take the shovel, I bury you
I have no pity I take earth
I repeat
Even Apash I take him, I dig him up
Even he is fed up with your shitty sounds
He prefers to listen to DTR
Cheers
I don't give a damn if you're upset
Don't worry, I'm about to finish my text
Don't tell me I'm overdoing it
You're angry but we know you want my sex
Just go ahead, get lost
I just came to say hello from your ex
...
Size!
*-Shh.
Booing
Well then, come back.
*-How is it? *-What are you doing?
-YAMAR! YAMAR! YAMAR!
YAMAR! YAMAR! YAMAR!
