Separated in 2013, the group enjoyed resounding success in the 2010s, notably with the album “The school of vital points”, released in March 2010. After the release of “L'Apogée” in 2012, the members of Sexion d'Assaut all decided to embark on a solo career.
Their return had been announced several times, in particular by Gims himself, who had confided in an interview with Konbini in 2019, that the group was hoping for “a return” but that legal disputes with their former producer were delaying this company.
