MC Solaar is the stage name of francophone hip hop artist Claude M'Barali (born March 5, 1969). By far the most internationally popular French rapper, he was born in Senegal but emigrated to France with his parents at the age of six months. MC Solaar remains best-known outside of France for his work on Guru's Jazzmatazz.
MC Solaar's first single, "Bouge de là", was a French hit in 1990 (see 1990 in music), as was his first album, Qui Sème le Vent Récolte le Tempo. His second album, Prose Combat, may be his most acclaimed. 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.
