Thomas Gérard Idir (born on June 26, 1980), known by his stage name Sinik, is a famous French rapper. You might also know him as Malsain or L'assassin. His father is from Algeria, and his mother is French.
In 2001, Sinik started his own music company called Six o Nine (6-0-9). This was a big step for his career.
Working with Other Artists
Sinik met another rapper named Diam's when he was 14 years old. This meeting was very important for his music journey. They became very close, like brother and sister.
In 2007, Sinik released an album called Le Toit du Monde. On this album, there is a song called "Je réalise." This song features the British singer James Blunt. It's a special song because James Blunt sings in English, and Sinik raps in French.
Sinik has also had some disagreements with other rap artists. These are sometimes called "feuds" or rivalries in the music world. Some of these artists include Kizito, Booba, and Gaiden.
