Sicario drops us into the heart of Zone 6—a tough Parisian neighborhood—where Gims and Heuss L’enfoiré flex their street-wise credentials over a Latin-tinged beat. Mixing French slang, bits of Spanish and nods to Colombian cartels, they present themselves as sicarios (hitmen) who run the block with surgical precision: racing through the city, stacking cash, sipping drinks and lighting up “banana kush” while luxury watches sparkle under club lights.
Beneath the swagger sits a sharper truth. The refrain “C’qui sort du four, c’est pas du pain” warns that whatever is baking is not bread—code for illicit business that fuels their lifestyle. Money “comes and goes,” danger is never far, yet they choose to “take life as it comes,” dancing through the uncertainty. The result is a high-energy anthem that celebrates hustle, cautions against its risks and invites listeners to feel the adrenaline of the streets without ever leaving the dance floor.
GIMS, born Gandhi Djuna in 1986 in Kinshasa, is one of the biggest stars in French music. His family left the Democratic Republic of the Congo for Paris when he was just two years old, and he grew up in the French capital.
He first made his name as the masked frontman of the rap collective Sexion d'Assaut, one of the groups behind France's rap revival around 2010. Since going solo in 2013 he has become a chart-topping, stadium-filling artist who blends rap, pop and R&B, and he has worked with international names like Sia, Sting, Maluma and Pitbull.
