Ceinture noire (English: Black Belt) is the third studio album by Congolese-French singer and rapper Gims, released on 23 March 2018 on the TF1 Group and Play Two labels.

Contents

The album has been reissued several times: the full version was released on 24 August 2018, the Transcendence reissue was released on 26 April 2019 and a new reissue Décennie with 4 new titles was released on 6 December 2019.

Genesis

Following the election of Donald Trump in the United States on 8 November 2016, Gims expresses his anger on Instagram by announcing that he will stop music the next day, a very marked April Fool's Day a few hours later, by the announcement of his next album titled Ceinture noire.

Following a clash against Dawala for low copyright in December 2016, Gims left the Wati B label and signed with TF1 Group, his next album was announced to be under the Play Two label.

History

On 7 May 2017, shortly after his official announcement, Gims published an exclusive excerpt from a song on his Instagram account entitled "Marabout" where he is heard settling accounts with a particular person. The sound with the entire clip (produced by Daylight Productions) was officially released on his new YouTube channel on 12 May 2017. On 26 May Gims released a new single titled "Ana Fi Dar", which featured the Gims of the time, very " kicker ". Note that part of the sound was unveiled on 28 March 2017 on his Snapchat account.

After a hack of his Twitter account on 7 March 2018, the pirate unveils two tracks from the album which are The Same in duet with Vianney as well as "Loup-garou" with Sofiane. These two tracks seem to be a foretaste of the album given that he announced on 29 September 2017 on these social networks that he was absent to "refine" the first single from the album which means that "Marabout" and "Ana Fi Dar" are not singles. The first is unpublished and the second is included in the project. : "I'm going to be away from the networks for a while, a few weeks, just enough time to refine, to finish the first single from the album".

He made his comeback on 5 November 2017 by changing the profile photos of all his social networks to choose a totally black image, referring to the name of the album, and announced on 7 November the release of the first single from the album, titled Chameleon, released 3 days later, on 10 November 2017. During an interview given in October 2017, a question was asked about the presence of a featuring with his little brother Dadju on the album, given that he was present on the last 2. Question to which he replies: "Yes, most certainly, as in all the previous albums, it is natural".
