It has 15 tracks.[1] There are several thousand copies sold thanks to flagship titles such as "Prie pour moi" (feat. Gims),[2] "Profite de ma life" (ft DR Beriz and Black M, with the exclusive participation of Noom Diawara for the clip)[3] or "Rien sans Les autres".[4]
Genesis
[edit]After the enormous success of Sexion d'Assaut, the various members of the group embark on solo projects. If Lefa and Barack Adama are withdrawing from the music industry, this is not the case for Gims who, in 2013, released his first album Subliminal which was a public success with around 1,100,000 copies sold. In 2014, Black M in turn embarked on a solo career with the release of his album Les yeux plus gros que le monde, which sold just under 900,000 copies.
Building on the success of his predecessors, Maska also undertook to make an album. It is Gims who reveals, during his Planète Rap which is dedicated to him, the return of Maska in solo.[5]

She prefers my skin and wants to be your mate". The clip, has since been deleted from the YouTube platform.[6]
- Episode III: "Ça va aller" is the third episode of Maska's En attendant Espace Temps series. The song is a message of hope for all those who have to overcome hardships in their life: "Your wife is leaving you, you're sad, it's going to be fine. Your boss fires you, you're afraid, it's going to be fine. you are sick, it will be fine. A loved one has died, it is hard to swallow ".[7] However, he encourages to get up and fight "I fell, I got up but the fall leaves marks I see that the weak are moving away but I don't stop fighting" The clip to meanwhile, it has been viewed more than 1,000,000 times.[8]
