Kaaris, whose real name is Okou Gnakouri, is a French rapper born in Abidjan on January 30, 1980, who grew up in Sevran, Seine-Saint-Denis. Kaaris began his rap career in the late 1990s under the name Fresh, taken from Boaz Yakin’s film Fresh. He released a number of tracks, including Quand j’étais gosse, on compilations such as Niroshima 1.

In 2003, he finally returned to Côte d’Ivoire to work with his brother, who had settled there. When war broke out in the country, he joined a French military camp and managed to leave the country to return to France. He began rapping again, and in 2007 released 43e BIMa, named after the military camp where he had taken refuge in Côte d’Ivoire. This mini-album enabled Kaaris to make a name for himself and adopt his new artist name when he registered with SACEM. In 2010, he worked on a compilation project with various producers, but Kaaris left the project before the album was finalized. A year later, rapper Booba asked him to take part in one of the tracks on his Autopsie 4 mixtape. Shortly afterwards, he released a new mini-album entitled Z.E.R.O.

Il sort quelques titres comme Quand j’étais gosse, sur des compilations comme Niroshima 1.

Il retourne finalement en 2003 en Côte d’Ivoire pour travailler avec son frère installé sur place.

Il recommence à rapper et sort en 2007 43e BIMa, du nom du camp militaire où il avait trouvé refuge en Côte d’Ivoire. Ce mini-album permet à Kaaris de se faire connaître et d’adopter définitivement son nouveau nom d’artiste, lors de son inscription à la SACEM. En 2010, il travaille sur un projet de compilation avec différents producteurs, mais Kaaris quitte le projet avant que l’album soit finalisé.
