Abdelkrim Brahmi, known professionally as Rim'K (born 21 June 1978 in Paris, France), is a French rapper. Rim'K was raised in the Parisian suburb of Vitry-sur-Seine. His family is originally from Barbacha, Algeria, which is mentioned many times in his lyrics.

He is a member of the group 113, alongside Mokobé and AP, and the supergroup Mafia K-1 Fry. He also has a group called Maghreb United.
Having been innovative in many musical aspects, such as the introduction of Maghrebian folk rhythms in rap, Rim'K thus remains one of the major figures of the French-speaking rap scene.
His musical success, which can be explained both in the quality of his art and in his artistic finds, also comes from the fact that Rim'K is perceived as a link linking the Maghreb to France, and that his longevity in music has made him a father figure to many French rap listeners.
Rim'k performed in the 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. [1]
