French rap mathematical group Sniper formed in the suburbs of Paris in 1997. Rappers El Tunisiano (natural Bachir Baccour) and Aketo (Ryad Selmi), dancehall toaster Black Renega (Karl Appela), and DJ Boudj to begin with adoptive the sobriquet Personnalité Suspecte, only changed the name prior to the 2001 handout of their debut album, Du Rire aux Larmes. Following the release of 2003's Gravé Dans la Roche, Sniper came under tone-beginning from French Minister of the Interior Nicolas Sarkozy, wHO filed a suit to armed combat their streetwise, ofttimes political lyrics, which he dubbed "wild, anti-Semite and abusive." A evaluate later dismissed the case, but the resulting disputation made the group a drive célèbre and galvanized track record gross sales. Trait Pour Trait followed in 2006.
