Lively Crew became B.Boys Stance some time during summer 1987, after which it was joined by Shurik'n, Freeman and Imhotep. In 1989 the group was renamed IAM, and they produced their first album, IAM Concept which was released the following year. They signed a contract with Virgin, and went on to publish the album De la planète Mars in 1991, which became a major hit in France. However, IAM's big break did not come until their 1997 album L'école du micro d'argent, which took only two days to become a gold album in France and eventually sold over a million copies, becoming a diamond album. L'école du micro d'argent also brought the group some international fame.
After the massively successful 1997 album, members of the group began to pursue solo careers. Akhenaton had already published his first solo album, Métèque et mat, in 1995, and he was followed by Shurik'n and Freeman with albums in 1998 and 1999 respectively. Most members of the band now started to work on other projects of their own as well, such as Akhenaton's 2000 film Comme un aimant. However, the group remained intact, writing tracks every once in a while for their album Revoir un printemps, published in 2003.

Jai 42 ans et en écoutent a nouveaux ce morceaux d IAM , rien n a changer cest meme pire les disparités se creusent d avantages.
Cela n enlève rien a la beauté du texte sans insultes mais tellement intemporelle.
Prenez soin de vous pour 2024 et n oubliez jamais il n y a que de limites que celles qu on se fixe ! Allez chercher ce qui vous reviens, si vous vous etes battues pour l avoir !

J'arrive pas à croire que 26 ans après j'écoute toujours ce son, indémodable.
@alexl.1732
indémodable parce qu'Iam était et est toujours bourré de talent. Vraiment rien à voir avec la bouse infâme actuelle qui se fait appeler Rap.

Avant de passer mon concours d'avocat j'ai fermé les yeux et pensé à cette chanson le manque, la solitude dans un système qui nous est hostile, la sensation dès jeune que nous sommes défavorisés. Puis j'ai rempli ma copie avec ce stylo estampillé avec le logo du bailleur HLM pour la REVANCHE sur la vie. Force et courage aux enfants de gens modestes, aux enfants d'étrangers...
