Some people applauded Alonzo when he burned the stages with his group, the Psy 4 de la Rime, others knew him when he settled his accounts with "La Belle Vie", and maybe the last ones will discover him with the hit "Traficante". When we had the opportunity to follow Alonzo in all the steps of the creation of his latest album, Quartiers Nord, we had to tell the story of this artist who has crossed all the eras of French rap while preserving authenticity and modernity. Since the beginning, he has divided his life between his artistic career and a family reality that hit him at the age of 16 with his first daughter, Kenza. Music and family remain intimately linked for Kassim. When he recorded his last album, his wife was about to give birth to their sixth child. The film retraces these moments of joy, of sharing, of doubt too. Capo reste Kassim is a sincere dive into the life of one of the most important artists of French rap.

After growing up in a poor gypsy camp, Edmond Vidal, aka Momon, has retained a sense of family, unfailing loyalty and pride in his origins. Most of all, he has remained friends with Serge Suttel, with whom he first discovered prison life - for stealing cherries. The two of them inevitably got involved in organized crime. The team they formed, the Ganf Des Lyonnais, made them the most notorious armed robbers of the early 1970s. Their irresistible rise ended in 1974 with a spectacular arrest. Today, as he nears 60, Momon would like to forget that part of his life. He has found peace by retiring from the "business". He tends to his wife Janou, who suffered so in the past, and to his children and grandchildren, all of whom have great respect for this man of simple and universal values, so clear-headed and full of kindness. But then Serge Suttel, who has disowned nothing of his past, comes back into the picture.
