Subliminal is the debut solo album of French rapper Maître Gims, member of the French rap group Sexion d'Assaut. The 18-track album was released 20 May 2013 on Wati B and on MMC, the latter founded by Maître Gims himself. The lyrics were all by Maître Gims whereas the music was by Maître Gims, Renaud Rebillaud and Stan-E Music. The album was a big success charting in France (reaching #2), Belgium (reaching #1) as well as charting in Switzerland.

Contents

On 2 December 2013, he re-released the album with six additional tracks he called La face cachée (the hidden face) for a total of 24 tracks, resulting in further interest in the album.

By 31 August 2015, the album had accumulated a total of more than 1,000,000 copies sold in France.

Promotion

In 2012, Maître Gims announced through social network that he was preparing for an animated series titled Au cœur du Vortex and in conjunction was developing a clothing line to be named Vortex VX.

The greatly expected solo album was heavily promoted by Maître Gims in an announcement through his video "Welcome to the Wa Part. 4: La Consécration".

A series of consecutive releases of unpublished materials called Ceci n'est pas un Clip were released in anticipation:

  • Ceci n'est pas un Clip I: Teaser of upcoming tracks
  • Ceci n'est pas un Clip II: "Tapis dans l'Ombre"
  • Ceci n'est pas un Clip III : "De Marseille à Paris" featuring Bedjik (his brother), Dr. Beriz, H Magnum & Soprano
  • Ceci n'est pas un Clip IV: "Close Your Eyes" featuring JR O Chrome
  • Ceci n'est pas un Clip V: "Sharingan" featuring 1solent, The Shin Sekaï and Orelsan
  • Ceci n'est pas un clip VI: Bavon featuring Charly Bell
  • On 1 March 2013, Maître Gims also released "Meurtre par strangulation" (M.P.S.) as a first pre-release from the Subliminal album.

    On 15 March 2013, just two weeks later, he released a second track from the album "J'me tire", that topped the SNEP official French Singles Chart.
