Psy 4 de la Rime are a French hip hop group formed 1992 in Marseille comprising several rappers with immigrant backgrounds from former French colonies. Their original name was KDB, Kid Dog Black. The band was signed to 361 Records, a Marseille-based independent label founded by fellow rapper Akhenaton.

After the solo pause

After the split-up, some of the individual rappers in the band have continued their solo careers.

  • Most notable of them was Soprano who had already released a solo album while in the band titled Puisqu'il faut vivre that had made it to #2 in the SNEP French Albums Chart. His album La Colombe released in 2010 has even topped the French Albums Chart.
  • In similar fashion, Segnor Alonzo has continued to enjoy a good career under the name Alonzo releasing three albums of his own starting with his 2009 solo album Un dernier coup d'oeil dans le rétroviseur immediately after the split-up followed by the successful and critically acclaimed Les temps modernes in 2010.

The group is back in 2013 with their fourth album called "4eme Dimension".

On 26 October 2015, DJ Sya Styles, the DJ of the formation died of illness. He was 37.[1]
