He started in 1994 with the group and quickly became its leader. The group was made of five members (Dadoo otherwise known as Dadppda, Diesel, H2O, 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.
