3D Rap formed in Abidjan, Ivory Coast around 2003, with Soum Bill, Kiff No Beat, and Mc One coming together. Their debut album 'Mandole' came out in 2006, and the title track became popular for mixing hip-hop with traditional Mandinka rhythms. The song resonated with many listeners across Africa.
Their lyrics sometimes addressed social issues, which drew both attention and criticism. The group faced plagiarism accusations regarding 'Mandole,' though they denied these claims. They continued releasing music, putting out albums like 'Tout Ca Pour Ca' in 2008 and 'Le Retour Des Rois' in 2015.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
