Disiz - Rap Machine

Disiz, whose real name is Sérigne M'baye Gueye, has always navigated between the codes of rap and those of pop rock, a duality asserted right from his first album in 2000. After marking the year 2005 with Les Histoires extraordinaires d'un jeune de banlieue, the Amiens rapper continued his trajectory with albums like Disiz the End and Dans le ventre du crocodile. In 2012, he began an intense creative phase by releasing a conceptual trilogy composed of Lucide, Extra-lucide, and Transe-Lucide. It is within this context that the album Rap Machine was released; it is the seventh studio record in Disiz's career, published on June 1st, 2015 under the Lucidream Republic label. This release marks a pause after this trilogy of albums between 2012 and 2014, favoring an opening toward new sounds.

A mutating writing style following the conceptual trilogy

The album Rap Machine stands out for its stylistic evolution that goes beyond the strict scope of the previous trilogy to reach a broader reception within 2015 hip-hop events. Writing asserts itself as a vector of diverse exploration, where the artist does not merely repeat his codes but seeks to redefine the lyricism of the seventh studio opus. This mutation is crystallized by major collaborations that actively participate in a re-reading of the text, transforming Rap Machine into an exchange space where the main voice dialogues with confirmed guests on the tracklist. The song "Bête de bombe 6" is an excerpt from this album, illustrating this period of artistic transition where Disiz continues to release studio albums, as confirmed by the sequels Pacifique and Disizilla.

The lyrical collaborations of DJ Pone, Margot Guerra, and Dinos Punchlinovic

Guest appearances on the album aren't incidental; they contribute to a specific vocal dynamic. On the track "Un Jour J'ai Fait Un Tag," it's DJ Pone who steps in, adding his distinctive touch to the song. This collaboration continues onto the next one, "Bitchiz," where DJ Pone's presence is also confirmed by the tracklist. The album also features a female voice with Margot Guerra on the track "Bonnie Sans Clyde." These interventions contribute to a reimagining of the lyricism, transforming Rap Machine into an exchange space where the main vocalist dialogues with guests confirmed by the tracklist.

'La Promesse' face B: shared lyricism with Hatik and Dinos Punchlinovic

The song "La Promesse" is one of the key tracks in this set, marked by exceptional vocal density. On this track, it's Dinos Punchlinovic who steps in to enrich the lyrical narrative. The B-side of the song also welcomes Hatik's voice, thus confirming the presence of multiple artists on this specific track. This multi-vocal configuration perfectly illustrates Disiz's musical exploration at that time.

Basic Instinct and Bête de bombe 6: pillars of a diverse exploration

Beyond collaborations, certain tracks anchor Disiz's artistic approach in a varied sonic exploration. The track "Basic Instinct" opens side An of the album, while the excerpt "Bête de bombe 6" is featured among the songs selected to illustrate this transformation where writing becomes the primary engine of an artistically expanding trajectory. These tracks, paired with pieces like "Comme Un Rappeur (Wa Ever)" or "Oto Moto," demonstrate Disiz's ability to alternate between introspective approaches and more energetic moments. The album concludes with tracks such as "Heureusement" or "On S'Comprend Pas," sealing this period of transition where the artist continues to evolve following their previous trilogy.
