Booba is the stage name of Elie Yaffa (born December 9, 1976) is rapper from Boulogne-Billancourt, a commune in the western suburbs of Paris. He is of Senegalese and French descent. Born in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, Booba quickly got influenced by the US hip-hop scene at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s. With his pal Ali, also from Issy-les-Moulineaux (Hauts-de-Seine), they started the rap group Lunatic, under which name they recorded several mixtapes. In 2000, they released their first and only album: Mauvais ?il under the record label 45 Scientific. The album was a success and was quickly recognized as a classic in this music field. The group split in 2002 for unknown reasons; in the meantime Booba signed a contract for his first solo album: Temps Mort, still under 45 Scientific (150 000 copies sold). This album, with the track Destinée (featuring Kayna Samet) aired on several radio stations, and especially on Skyrock, which allowed Booba to be heard by a larger audience. Booba left 45 Scientific to create his own record label: Tallac records. On May 11, 2004, he released his second solo album: Panthéon which became a huge success with tracks such as Numero 10, Avant de partir and Mon Son
