Beginnings with KDD

The group was made of 5 members (Dadoo otherwise known as Dadppda, Diesel, H20, Lindsay and Robert) who signed a contract with Columbia. Their first album "Opte pour le K" came out in 1996, next came the album "Résurrection" in 1998 and "Une Couleur de plus au Drapeau" in 2000, both considered as original classics of French rap. Later the group separated after selling more than 200,000 albums. A new path was ahead for him.

In 2003, produced by Sony Columbia his first solo album France History X which is regarded as a definitive, high-value example of French rap. The album showed a timeless analysis of the French wealthy's differences and contradictions. The title Sales Gosses met an immediate success with a music video with Jamel Debbouze, Éric et Ramzy, Dieudonné and Joeystarr. The titles Où vous-êtes, France History X and Fille facile also saw large successes. It was in 2014 when Dadoo launched the formation of Dadoo and the Classics who hoped to blend hip hop strictly MC + KEYS + DRUMS.

Composition career
