Niro (rapper)
Noureddine Bahri (born 1987 in Blois, Loir-et-Cher), better known as Niro, is a French rapper of Moroccan descent who has released three charting albums in three years. In 2013 he was signed to AZ label[1] after many years with the rap label Street Loud formed by members of the French rap collective Mafia K'1 Fry.
He started earlier releasing his street album Niroshima III in 2007. Niro became the first independent act to be signed to Street Lourd. He had his first single with "70 Kg" in 2011 followed by "Dans ton kwaah" and "Pikassos". He was featured in recordings of well-known rappers including Seth Gueko, Kery James and Booba. He is considered one of the prominent representatives of French "street rap" (le rap de rue).[2]
In 2012, he released his debut studio album Paraplégique, that contained many of his earlier hits. But immediately after the release of the album, he was involved in legal problems on some minor charges, arrested after a police chase and sentenced to a 5-month term.[3][4]
While in jail, he composed his second album Rééducation that he released with critical acclaim in 2013 addressing his legal problems. In 2014, he has returned with a third album Miraculé with label AZ.
