Saïd M'Roubaba, better known to French tap fans as Soprano, was born in Marseilles, France, on January 14, 1979. As a youth, Saïd was hypnotised with American R&B and hip-hop artists such as Michael Jackson and Kris Kross. Though a reluctant loss leader, it was not long earlier he formed a hip-hop crew of his have, with two members from his parents' aboriginal Comoros and the fourth from Morocco. M'Roubaba and friends became important players in the years when European hip-hop's foundation was being laid. He earned a reputation for a lyric intuition and insight uncommon in the genre. The iV capitalized on this mental image, choosing the mention Psy 4 de la Rime (IV Psychiatrists of Rhyme). M'Roubaba chose the MC make Soprano, in love with American TV's Tony Soprano, especially for the character's psychiatrical explorations. The grouping built up instantaneous recognition, with 2 records to its course credit, Enfants de la Lune and Block Party, both of which went gold in a matter of weeks upon release. As often happens with successful hip-hop groups, one member finds himself singled out as having solo potentiality. Soprano was solicited by a routine of labels offering to help him release a solo disc. He tried and true the waters with the 2006 mixtape Psychanalyse Avant l'Album. The record's positive reception and enthusiastic tag reinforcement convinced the artist that the clip was right for his debut studio apartment record album. Puisqu'il Faut Vivre was released in March 2007, instantly landing on Billboard's European Top 100.
