A few days ago, KeBlack unveiled the deluxe edition of Focus Mentalité, an upgraded project packed with high-profile collaborations including SDM, Soolking, Naza, MHD, Mickaël Brun, Fally Ipupa, RSKO, Franglish, and Guy2Bezbar. Even before the re-release, the album had already gone gold in March 2025—marking a powerful comeback for KeBlack after several quiet years. During his appearance at the Les Ardentes festival in 2024, he opened up in an interview about that challenging period: “I came back stronger, with a new artistic vibe.” A statement that holds weight when you consider the explosive success of Laisse-moi, now certified diamond and recognized as the spark that reignited his career—an impact that everyone in the studio felt right from the track’s creation.
KeBlack continues his momentum with the release of Melrose Place, a clear nod to the iconic ’90s TV series. Featuring Guy2Bezbar—an artist whose popularity has surged since his move to Monaco—the track stands out as one of the highlights of this deluxe edition.
KeBlack and Guy2Bezbar make it clear: “It’s nothing like Melrose Place!”
The production is powered by a dream team of beatmakers: Djazzi, Junior Alaprod, Maximilien Silva, and Seny Silva. Djazzi, who already worked with KeBlack on hits like Bazardée, T’es à moi, and Menteuse, rekindles his creative chemistry with the artist. Junior Alaprod brings his experience from collaborations with PLK, Soso Maness, Shay, and Columbine. Meanwhile, the duo Maximilien & Seny Silva—well known for their work with Aya Nakamura on Baby and T’as peur—round out a production that’s made for summer: vibrant, infectious, and perfectly aligned with the artists’ strengths.
On the track, the duo playfully flips the script on romantic clichés with a catchy chorus:
“Eh, eh, eh, eh, babe, come see what life’s really like (Come see what life’s really like)
I don’t know your ex, but I know he’s gonna hate me for this (What’d you say? That’s bold!)
Eh, eh, eh, eh, babe, here, we don’t do kouma (Don’t do kouma)”
The music video is directed by Warren Navangi of the collective Art du Clip, a rising talent in the French rap visual scene. His portfolio includes the stylish visuals for 2,3 Shots by Heuss L’Enfoiré and Genezio, as well as Boulot by SDM and KeBlack. A trusted creative partner, Warren is also behind the striking video for Bababa.
