A member of the Ghetto Fabulous Gang collective, rapper Alpha 5.20 leads two
careers at once, as part of a group and as a solo artist. He has been making
appearances and collecting mixtapes since 2001, before launching Vivre et Mourir
à Dakar (2006). His uncompromising rap brings him close to the likes of Sefyu
and Seth Gueko. In 2010, Alpha 5.20 released the soundtrack to the film African
Gangster (which he produced), his new album Scarface d'Afrique and the mixtape
Vie 2 Chakal.
