Genuine diving in the middle of French rap, the validated series, created by Franck Gastambide, begins his second season on Canal + by putting this time in honor a rapper, alpha. At the end of the first season, the director and his authors had “killed their previous hero, Apash, in a drive-by-shooting (” Fusant “) worthy of a clip of American Gangsta Rap, leaving the doubt about the culprits. Clement, Alias Apash, had he been the victim of a boundary account resolution to his dealer’s past, or had he been murdered because of his punches (shock phrases, verbal attacks) against his competitors of the rap?
For this new season, Gastambide reuses the ingredients that have made its success: a mix of realism where the real actors of the rap industry play their own role (Fred Musa and Laurent Bounen of Skyrock, famous rappers sniper, Alonzo, Rohff, which make anecdotal or more consistent appearances), street stories and small moments of comedy, close to the comic springs of its previous achievements (Kaïra Shopping, Pataya or Taxi). The difference is that this time the nine episodes sink as and when intrigues in a universe more and more mafia.
“Rap is that galleys. “
We would almost forget that heroin is a young solar woman, who often shows a broad smile. Salessee in a sports shoes shop, Sarah leads a quiet life between her 7 year old son, which she raises alone, and her best friend, Fatou, who gives her a hand for babysitting. In the past, the young woman was reporting and had been spotted by Ines, the artistic director who already followed Apash. When the friends of the latter, William and Nabil, decide to ride their own music label, it is her they decide to produce after many clumsiness and hesitation, on both sides. For Sarah, alka alpha, “rap is that galleys. With a kid in addition, drop”, for William, “produce a rapper, it’s too risky”.
Sarah / Alpha is supposed to embody all the difficulties encountered by the female gente in the reputable universe of rap. Few girls, “apart from Diam’s,” succeed. She is first confronted with the skepticism of her composer, SNO: he makes him understand that she must sing, that what she wants to do, that is to say, “Really, it will not work.” Then the prejudices on his dress in public: “If I am too sexy, I am a whore, if I dress in Top ‘, I make the man.” Finally, as if it was not enough, there is also His ex, violent and incarcerated in a prison in Marseille, Nacer played by Said Tagmaoui.
