Et si tu ne te reconnais pas, comment me reconnaîtrais-tu ?
C’est vrai, ça, qu’est-il donc advenu
Pour qu’on finisse comme si nous étions étrangers ?
On a tellement pris appui sur nos vanités

about Abdal Malik :
Abd al Malik might best be described as a deconstructionist rapper. Indeed, his radical style is much in keeping with the groundbreaking work of the deconstructionist philosophers whom he studied at university. The pioneering young rapper introduced a totally new aesthetic to French hip-hop, pushing back musical borders and transcending styles on his second solo album "Gibraltar", released in 2006. The Sufi poet-rapper, who began his career with the Strasbourg crew New African Poets, has won a number of prestigious awards in the course of his career and his thought-provoking songs are now enjoying increasing success on the musical mainstream.
