Starting from nothing, as his 2007 debut album proudly indicates, El Matador
arrives at Au Clair du Bitume, released in May 2009. Along with L'Algérino and
others, Mohamed Bendjebar aka El Matador (b. 1982) represents the younger
generation of Marseille rap, and is signed by Bombattak Recordz. His track "
Génération Wesh Wesh" was then used to open the soundtrack to the film Taxi 4.
Following Poussière d'Étoiles in 2013, the double album XIII NRV released two
years later welcomes a host of fellow artists.
