Kery James is one of the most popular and richest Rapper who was born on December 28, 1977 in Guadeloupe, Les Abymes, France. Rapper, singer and producer who first came to prominence during his teenage years as a member of the French rap crew Idéal Junior. He went on to find success as a solo artist with such tracks as “Relève la tête,” “Lettre à la République” and “Racailles.”

At around thirteen years old, he became a member of the group Idéal Junior (later abbreviated to Idéal J). There he was known as Daddy Kery. Idéal J garnered a few singles with explicit titles like “Hardcore”, “Pour une poignée de dollars” and a first album titled Original MC’s sur une mission. In 1992, their single “La vie est brutale” was released showing great promise though one of the talented artists, Alter MC (who is nowadays known as Jessy Money), promptly left the group. In subsequent years while colleague DJ Mehdi progressed as a prominent producer, Kery worked extensively on writing new material, his texts reflecting a life that involved altercations with the police, street rivalries and an omnipresent fear of death.
In 1996 the band’s first album under the moniker Ideal J led the group to become renowned and respected as amongst the top French rappers with well- known singles like “Ghetto français”, “Show business” and “Je veux du cash”. Ideal J multiplied their appearances on Maxis and as featured acts, reaching a surprising maturity with the single “J’désole mes parents” present on the compilation Nouvelle donne. However, Kery’s career was put temporarily on hold in 1999 when his close childhood friend Las Montana was shot and killed. Kery took refuge in religious faith and took the name Ali as a symbol of his full conversion to Islam.
