Abdramane Diakité alias Tony in the series “Caïd” unveils these days in streaming the clip of the first episode of “Chroniques de Caïd”. Pure and hard rap that he signs under the name of Kid.
We discovered it under the face of Tony in the series Kingpin broadcast on Netflix in March 2021. Abdramane Diakité performs a young rapper who runs a network of cannabis in a city in Marseille. Today, it is under the name of Kid that the comedian-rapper reveals his personal project.
Gang wars, trafficking of all kinds, Caïd’s screenplay comes in ten ultra-paced episodes, all orchestrated by an original soundtrack specially composed by the actor-rapper himself. A breathless atmosphere that gave ideas to Abdramane Diakité. While waiting for season 2 of this series shot in Martigues, he returns solo with a series of clips under the name of Kid. “It stands for child and it’s also an acronym that stands for ‘Killer Instinct Determined,’ explains the rapper.
Titles Caïd’s chroniclesthe clips take up the same dark and brutal universe, a thriller in the land of drug dealers. “These are little anecdotes, the story of Tony which continues and which tells of his journey in his city”, explains Abdraman. And to narrate this atmosphere where money flirts with guns, the rapper releases his flow and his punchlines with impeccable shots. “It’s urban rap, a pure rap that’s a bit harsh at times”, details the Kid.
The series created by Ange Basterga and Nicolas Lopez is inspired by the eponymous film produced by the same duo in 2017, winner of the Polar de Cognac festival. The first season consists of ten short episodes lasting no more than fifteen minutes. It can be viewed in full on Netflix.
