Born Nicolas Salvadori, rapper Seth Gueko was born in Saint-Ouen l'Aumône (Val d'Oise) on October 27, 1980. Seth Gueko has carved out his own niche, positioning himself as a champion of the Romani people and gangster culture. Starting with *Mains Sales*, his first EP in 2003, he raps that âthe gadjos shouldnât get in our way.â His fascination with a certain brand of gangster culture led him to proclaim himself âthe hidden son of Jacques Messâ on *Les Fils de Jacques Mess* in 2008. *La Chevalière* in 2009 cemented his place among the greats of Francophone rap. *Michto* in 2011 confirmed the stature of âthe friend of the carnival workers.â In 2012, Seth Gueko, Al K-Pote, and Zekwé Ramos came together on the album *Game* by the Néochrome Hall Stars. With *Bad Cowboy* in May 2013, Seth Gueko cemented his status as the outlaw of French rap more than ever. On his next album, released two years later, he established himself as a pillar of the scene by proclaiming himself âProfessor Punchline.â With the same confidence, he emphasized his transgressive image by titling his next album *Barlou* (2016), followed by *Destroy* (2019). Between numerous appearances on various projects, the Paris-area rapper has surrounded himself with new collaborators such as Youssoupha, Benjamin Epps, Le Rat Luciano, Kofs, Akhenaton, Sat lâArtificier, Da Uzi, Tovaritch, Roi Heenok, and Caballero & Jeanjass for the album *Mange Tes Morts* (2022). Four years later, *Saint Sauveur* was released, featuring collaborations with Lacrim, 404billy, Dinos, Perso, Big Twins, X-Men, and Jungle Jack, as well as Faf Larage and Akhenaton.
