Elh Kmer
Rapper Elh Kmer was born Elh Hadj on 12 November 1998 in Yaoundé, Cameroon and moved to France at the age of 11 where he was simultaneously drawn to the worlds of rap and football. Growing up in Boulogne-Billancourt, he kicked off his musical career with the rap group SDHS (Soldats des Hauts de Seine) and the 40000 Gang, the latter signing to Capitol Music France following the release of viral single "Sosa" in 2014. The Anarchie mixtape followed in 2015, which featured his voice on four tracks: "Mula," "Lamborghini," "Free Og," "Heure du Crime." He stepped out as a solo artist two years later, christening his new venture with an album called Independent and working with producer Baille Broliker for second album Antidote. Following a string of freestyles including "Old Boy" and "Apnée," Elh Kmer released the album Vivaldi in 2023, led by the single "400 m2."
