MC Solaar's first single, "Bouge de là", was a French hit in 1990, as was his first album, Qui Sème le Vent Récolte le Tempo. His second album, Prose Combat, was released in the US.
MC Solaar gained new fans in North America in early 2004, when his 2001 song "La Belle Et Le Bad Boy" was featured on one of the final episodes of the popular television series Sex and the City.
