French Montana, born Karim Kharbouch on November 9, 1984, in Rabat, Morocco, is a rap artist who has made a significant impact on the hip-hop scene. He immigrated to the South Bronx, New York, with his family at the age of 13, which proved to be a fertile ground for his burgeoning interest in music. French Montana rose to fame after founding the Cocaine City Records and releasing his 'Cocaine City' series of DVDs in the mid-2000s, which featured interviews with various hip-hop artists and street lore. He gained notoriety with his mixtapes and collaborations with established artists, eventually leading to his break into the mainstream.

In 2012, French Montana's career reached a new peak when he signed a joint-venture recording deal with Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records and Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group. His debut studio album 'Excuse My French' was released in 2013 and included hit singles like "Pop That" and "Ain't Worried About Nothin'." Known for his distinctive Moroccan accent and a seamless blend of trap and street rap, French Montana is not just a musician but also a savvy businessman and a cultural influencer. Within his latest releases, including tracks like "Millionaire Row," the mixtape 'Coke Boys 6,' and its subsequent 'Money Heist Edition,' he continues to infuse his work with personal storytelling and collaborations with other artists, keeping his sound fresh and relevant in the constantly evolving music industry.
