Guizmo

**Guizmo** is a French rapper born Lamine Diakité on January 21, 1991, in Villeneuve-la-Garenne. He first gained traction in the late 2000s as part of the collective L'Entourage, known for their underground Parisian rap scene presence. His debut solo album, *Normal* (2011), featuring collaborations with artists like Nekfeu and Selah Sue, helped establish his reputation for blending introspective storytelling with sharp lyricism. After leaving the group in 2012, he continued releasing solo work, including albums like *La Banquise* and *C'est tout*. Named after the *Gremlins* character, Guizmo’s style balances old-school hip-hop grit with modern flows, reflecting his French-Senegalese roots and gritty suburban upbringing.

His recent releases — including *Jamais 1 sans 2*, *Les Mains Jamais Propres*, and anniversary editions like *RÉÉDITION 10 ANS* — showcase his enduring presence in France’s hip-hop scene, characterized by candid reflections on life, loyalty, and street narratives. Collaborations and solo tracks alike highlight his knack for pairing raw, conversational delivery with beats that nod to both classic and contemporary influences.
