To mark this return, the artist brings several new tracks, including Chiffres Romains, recorded alongside his brother Dosseh. A brotherly collaboration that reignites the magic of two writers with soldier-like discipline and sincerity.
He keeps the momentum going with a brand-new single: Ambition. A track that serves as a manifesto for Pit Baccardi, now entering his twenty-sixth year in the business. Don’t expect drill, trap, or dance-pop here: staying true to his DNA, the rapper sticks to the sound that birthed him and the streets that raised him.
Pit Baccardi redefines his Ambition!
The production is handled by a trio of beatmakers: Bone Collector, prod.by X-Plosive, and Haze. Behind the X-Plosive alias is German producer Thomas Kessler, the mastermind behind numerous French hits such as 92i Veyron, 3G, and Éléphant by Booba, as well as Rouge et Bleu with Kalash—a relic of a bygone era following the fallout between the two artists. Bone Collector, based in Los Angeles, has worked with French rappers like Mala, Ninho, and La Fouine. Meanwhile, Haze Beats has become a staple of the new generation, producing for the likes of Kekra, Timal, and Fresh La Douille. The result: a classic track in spirit, driven by piano chords and a rhythm that echoes the raw energy of the 1990s.
Lyrically, Pit Baccardi tips his hat to Ärsenik and their iconic Boxe avec les mots:
Faire de l’ombre à la foudre / Boxer avec mes mots / Comme les deux frères de Villiers-le-Bel
He also touches on a recurring theme in rap: distrust of friends, torn between disillusionment and true brotherhood:
La galère rend fort ça / c’est ma thèse 2025 / Fini les potes ça me sert à rien / Si on se parle encore c’est que c’est devenu fraternel
True to his rebellious spirit, Pit Baccardi keeps a political edge in his verses, even when his critiques are woven into broader social commentary:
Donnez le ballon d’or à Dembouz au lieu de polémiquer sur sa femme voilée
The video perfectly illustrates this comeback: a determined Pit Baccardi behind the wheel of a luxury car, surrounded by his presidential guard. Direction comes from Hypnoz, who’s become omnipresent in recent years, previously behind Sans Boussole by Maes, Brother Mouzone freestyle by Dinos, and Feu by Pit Baccardi.
