A documentary at the heart of French rap: its beginnings, its history, its influences. Featuring exclusive interviews, freestyles, and live performances from the French rap scene.

French rapper Soprano opens up like never before. He has become the artist with the highest album sales in France. With over 700,000 spectators, he also leads the biggest tour in 2017 and becomes the first rapper to perform at the Stade Vélodrome. Beyond the numbers and records that illustrate Soprano's success, it is the artist's extremely endearing personality that is revealed.

A talented young rapper, supported by his two childhood friends, finds himself overnight "validated" by one of the stars in the business. Only, this alliance quickly turns into a dangerous rivalry ...

The documentary series tells of the journey made by Saïd M’Roumbaba (aka Soprano), son of Comorian immigrants born in Marseille’s Northern neighborhoods and now one of France’s most popular artists. It reveals a key element of this success: a friendship “for life” with the three other craftsmen of this saga: Mateo, Mej and Djamali.
