Zeler

Plucked from relative obscurity by fellow French-Algerian rapper LIM, Zeler capitalized on several high-profile collaborations to emerge as one of the most promising young talents on the Parisian urban scene. Raised in Boulogne-Billancourt, he first came to attention with guest appearances on the title track from hip-hop collective Mo'vez Lang's 2007 long-awaited second album, Associes à Vie, and the chart-topping Delinquant ("Si on Reussit," "Tout Etait Calcule") by LIM, Mo'vez Lang's most prominent member, but Zeler received his big break when he teamed up yet again with LIM on 2009's joint studio effort Evolution Urbaine. After signing with the Tous Illicites label, he released his debut solo album, Tremblement de Terre, in 2012.
