Djadja & Dinaz unveiled “Terminal 7” in 2025, immediately reaffirming their status. The album made a strong impact upon release, posting close to 28,000 copies sold in its first week and debuting straight at No.1 on the Top Albums chart. Momentum quickly followed, with “Terminal 7” earning a gold certification and now edging ever closer to platinum.
An exemplary trajectory for the rappers from Meaux, who had already drawn heavy media attention with “On s’promet”, released in a sensitive context following controversy linked to the use of firearms. On the cover of “On s’promet”, the duo appear with their fists bound together—a powerful symbol of loyalty and brotherhood. Invited by Fred on Planète Rap for the release of “Terminal 7”, nearly ten years after their debut project, they revealed they had never once considered going their separate ways.
The duo has now announced a nationwide tour scheduled for 2026. Ever loyal to their audience, Djadja & Dinaz have consistently delivered dense, generous projects, reflecting a deep respect for the fans who helped carry them to the top. They now return with “Brique par brique”, a melancholic and introspective track in which an entire bruised generation can easily see itself.
Djadja & Dinaz drop “Brique par brique”.
The instrumental is produced by Bankai, a trio of beatmakers made up of Baki, Dorian, and Eikichi. The collective has previously collaborated with PLK and Kaaris, and recently produced “Ça Glow” for Himra, “Laisse tomber” for Iliana, and “LSTB” for GLK and TK. Bankai also spearheaded the return of “Tenue de motard”, the freestyle series by Djadja & Dinaz, producing its fifth installment.
Both melancholic and firmly rooted in rap, the production leaves ample space for the duo’s flows to breathe. The rappers recount a youth shaped by mistakes, endless nights, and unexpected detours, while offering a clear-eyed, introspective look at their journey. A deeply autobiographical track, driven by unfiltered lyrics:
“Compass in hand, I wandered all across the capital
Bro, since day one, I’ve stayed out front for too long
I always rapped for the love—back then, sales didn’t matter”
Or again:
“I was raised in the streets, out late into the night
When I was going through it, I never said: ‘Wait for me’
I felt every hit, I’m starving like a caiman”
The lyrics video was designed by Dozamenart. Shot in black and white, it features illustrations of wolves and dust, creating an atmosphere that is raw, stripped-back, and deeply symbolic. The artist has notably designed the cover for “Beirut” by Dany Neville, as well as the artwork for DJ Snake’s concert at the Stade de France. The 3D editing was handled by Sorek.
