// Mokobé
Of Malian origin, Mokobé grew up in the Paris suburb of Vitry – what’s called « the 9-4 » in French. The rapper came to prominence with the hip-hop band 113 and the Mafia K’1 Fry collective. The former had a meteoric career, capped by two “Victoires de la Musique”, (the French equivalent of the Grammy’s), in 2000. Ironically, the CD that brought them these rewards was denounced six years later by ruling conservative politicians for its “anti-French” lyrics. 113 was best known for songs like “Tonton du Bled” and “Jackpotes 2000”. In June 2007, Mokobé brought out his first solo album, the ambitious Mon Afrique. It features some of Africa’s top artists.
