2k

2K was a French band formed in Paris by three friends: Khan-L, Daddy Mory, and Fou Malade. They started making music in the 1990s, mixing African traditions with hip-hop beats and Caribbean melodies. Their sound was built around Fou Malade's driving production, Khan-L's rapping, and Daddy Mory's vocals.

In 1995, they released their debut single "Ziguiriguidum," which became an instant hit and gave them international recognition. That track anchored their first album, also called "Ziguiriguidum," which came out the same year. They followed it with two more albums: "Le Prix de la Vérité" in 1998 and "Africa 2000" in 2000.

Their lyrics sometimes touched on social issues, and their unconventional style drew some criticism at the time. But they kept making music on their own terms for those few active years in the late '90s. Other songs people remember include "Coisa Que Só Direi A Você," "Tia May," and "Desespero."
