A native of Vitry-sur-Seine, Zesau (born in Paris in 1981) first rose to prominence alongside Koryas and Nessbeal in the Dicidens collective. Favored by Booba, he then set up his own Bad-Game Musik label and released his first album, Frères d'Armes, in 2011. This was followed by Dirty Zoo in 2012 and Deuxmillezoo (20z0) in 2015.
