Born in Senegal in the city of Dakar, NiX, is presented as of one of the sure values of the African rap. Like most of young people of his generation, Nix was first introduced to hip-hop by dancing and jiggling like his hiphop idols in the sates. His love for rap increases when he start listening to Doug E Fresh, Kool Moe Dee, Father MC, Public Enemy… Then he discovered the French rap through MC Solaar, Assassin, NTM and IAM. These artists gave him the will to start writing and soon, he found his place in the landscape of the local rap. Thus he formed the group "Kantiolis" with his friends Ibrahim, Bap' S and GeSer to win the best rap group for 1994 and 1995.
Nix spend ten good years with Kantiolis who gain recognition and appreciation in their different show through locals schools and featuring with lots of big names such as Alliance Ethnik, Menelik, Raggasonic, KDD, Patra, Blondy Alpha, Magic System, Dubmatique etc. A trip to France enables them to pose some titles on mixtapes and to collaborate with big French artists like Hifi, Movez Lang, Malekal Morte and Oxmo Puccino.
In February 2003, the legendary group dismantled and Nix was forced to move on after gaining lots of stage experience and talent. That same year, he dropped his first album ''Black Crystal'' and invited his Ex acolyte Bap' S and GeSer, Tij and Fleo (EPC), Abass Abass, Goshey (OTD), Fanto (CFA), DJ Gee Bayss (Pee Froiss), Carlo…On the musical production, he trusted his companions of always Black Casanova, Diggy and K-iD.
