It's often said that the first album is an artist's calling card, that's where he lays the foundations and shows what he's worth and your first album was melancholier than the second. Were you afraid of being locked up in this box of a "melancholic rapper"? Yes and no. I’m a melancholy rapper, it’s true, but I’m not only that. It’s like saying to Niska, "You’re a rapper who makes people dance." This is partly true but yet he's so much more.

Our mood changes every day, we don't wake up every morning on the right foot, and on this album, there are 13 tracks and it's a bit like there were 13 different days. Each song is like a new story that I tell. It’s a bit like if an author wrote five books with the same story, it wouldn’t make any sense at the end. And I'm aware of this fact. I want to diversify my music as much as possible. You see, I like to make more danceable songs, even if I have no idea how to dance.
