Biography

Beginnings Kmal Radji began his artistic career with rap. It was through the group he formed at the time with artists Jupiter and Wilf Enighma that he entered the music industry. Making himself known to the general public through the rap contest called Duel Cruel, the artist, lamenting the American influence on the music style of Beninese artists, turned away from rap to convert to slam with his own style in order to encourage African youth to take charge of themselves. Having been involved in slam since 2003, he created in 2005, along with the slammer in the Fon language, Thibault Adotanou, free-word stages. 2012 : Aube Nouvelle
