Paradisiaque / Mc Solaar by Mc Solaar - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION Explicit

Volume 1

Volume 2

MC Solaar introduced himself to the French public with his insouciant rap flows on his 1991 debut album, Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo, adopting the American hip-hop style but expanding its scope with candid stories of navigating life as a Black man living in Paris’ suburbs. Three years later, the MC sealed his position as France’s rap ambassador with the acclaimed Prose Combat, perfecting a deft fusion of jazz and hip-hop that was bolstered by his effervescent aura.
In 2021, Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo and Prose Combat were rereleased as part of a campaign to catch up a younger generation on Solaar’s pioneering work. The two collections that followed, 1997’s Paradisiaque and 1998’s Mc Solaar, now appear as a double album, the way they were originally conceived by Solaar. Paradisiaque was heavily influenced by grungy funk and the futurist basslines of disco music, while Mc Solaar—shorter than any of his previous efforts—leaned into the complex lyrical structures of ’90s East Coast rap. But what remains constant at the heart of this project is his ability to craft bars rich in exquisite details pulled from his own experiences. From the earthiness of the Diana Ross-sampling “Paradisiaque” to the echoing guitar strings of “Les temps changent,” Paradisiaque / Mc Solaar is a vivid snapshot of Solaar at his tantalizing peak.
