## Biography

[edit]

Born in Bamako, Mali, Doums grew up in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. In 2008, he co-founded the L'Entourage collective, while he was gradually made his mark on the Paris rap scene. With rapper Népal, they formed the duo 2Fingz, and together they released their first homonymous project 2Fingz in 2011, followed by a second,La Folie des Glandeurs (lit. 'Delusions of Grandeur') in 2013.[3]

Jeunes entrepreneurs (lit. 'Young entrepreneurs'), the collective's first project, was released in 2014. [4] The collective toured in support of the album with a concert at the Olympia music hall in Paris on 14 June 2014.[5]

In 2017, after numerous freestyles, live and accompanying appearances on albums including "Feu", "Cyborg" and "Flip", Doums released his debut EP "Pilote" featuring 2zer, Zuukou Mayzie and Alpha Wann.[6]

On 21 September 2018, Alpha Wann's album "Une main lave l'autre (lit. 'One hand washes the other')" (UMLA) was released where Doums appeared on the track "La Lumière dans le noir.(lit. 'Light in the darkness.')"

In June 2019, Doums appeared on the track "L'air du temps(lit. 'The zeitgeist')" with Nekfeu and Framal on the album "Les Étoiles vagabondes(lit. 'Wandering Stars')". He also appears in the film of the same name accompanying the album.

Then on 13 December of the same year, Doums unveiled an 8-track EP entitled "Pilote & Co". The track "Ce soir (lit. 'Tonight') (feat. Nekfeu)" was accompanied by a video directed by Jules Renault of 360 Creative and produced by Frémont & Co. The clip tells the story of a love affair played out by actors, with Doums and Nekfeu appearing as narrators high above the landscape.[7]

On 24 June 2021, Doums unveiled his third EP, "Pilot3", featuring S.Pri Noir, Blondinet, Framal and Nekfeu.

After releasing his first single, "Movie", at the end of June 2022, followed by a second, "Stars", featuring Laylow, on 26 August 2022, Doums released his first studio album, "Pull à capuche et billets mauves(lit.
