Keblack displayed interested in music at the age of 15. His older brother was already a well-known rapper, and thus Nkomi was encouraged to pursue a musical education. He was influenced the most by the group MGS. Youssoupha and his record label Bomayé Musik (part of Universal Music) signed him with his release "J'ai déconné", which became a hit in 2015. He became more famous with the certified diamond "Bazardée" which garnered 180 million views on YouTube. Encouraged by its success, he launched a new musical project, the album Premier étage, released on 27 January 2017. The album was certified gold. The follow-up album Appartement 105 was released on 11 May 2018.[1]
