French rapper Abd Al Malik drew on traditions far outside
of the hip-hop idiom, embracing elements of blues, jazz,
and slam poetry. No less unique are his uncommonly
philosophical lyrics, which often serve to champion his
deep-rooted Muslim faith. Born in Paris on March 14, 1975,
Malik spent much of his early childhood in his family's
native Congo before returning to France in 1981. He first
earned notice during the late '90s leading the New African
Poets (N.A.P.), a rap collective inspired by the
pioneering jazz-funk of Gil Scott-Heron and the Last
Poets. Upon exiting their ranks to mount a solo career, in
2004 he issued his debut LP, Le Face α Face des Coeurs, as
well as a collection of spiritual essays titled Qu'Allah
BΘnisse la France. Gibraltar followed in 2006, earning
Malik the sought-after Le Prix Constantin award.
