biography
Mounir Ben Chettouh alias Hornet La Frappe grew up in the Orgemont district of Épinay-sur-Seine in the north of Paris, an immigrant district. He started rapping when he was 13, but it wasn't until he was 20 that rap veteran Busta Flex discovered and encouraged him. He brought the young rapper to his label TXT Productions and delivered the songs for his first EP Réussir ou Mounir , a reference to the film Get Rich or Die Tryin ' (French Réussir ou mourir ) by the US rapper 50 Cent .
After a major success did not materialize after the release in 2014, he questioned his rap career for the first time, but then founded his own label Diez Peufra with a few friends . He also published his own songs again on the Daymolition YouTube channel . There he had a great success at the end of 2016 with Gramme 2 peuf , which was accessed millions of times and earned him his first platinum award . In early 2017, the song made it into the French singles charts and stayed in the hit list for most of the year. In the fall he presented the mixtape Nous-mêmes , which entered the charts at number 5 and, alongside Gramme 2 peuf, contained another big hit with Je pense à toi . The song climbed into the top 10 and had 33 chart weeks, and it even achieved diamond status. He was also supported by Sofiane , who also comes from the Seine-Saint-Denis department and has Algerian roots. At the beginning of 2018 he was featured as a guest rapper on his number 2 single Longue vie .
In autumn 2018, Hornet La Frappe released his first real album Dans les yeux . It brought him back into the top 5 of the album charts and almost the entire album also made it into the single charts. The collaborations Sheitana with Ninho and Rolls with Lacrim were the most successful songs and both made it into the top 15. The album also made it into the charts in French-speaking Belgium and Switzerland. In October he also took part in Sofiane's album project 93 Empire with other rappers from Seine-Saint-Denis (93 is the number of the department). He was involved in three of the 21 album songs and all three hit the charts. The album reached number 2 on the French charts.
In the following year, things calmed down a bit, and it wasn't until January 2020 that the third major publication, Ma ruche, followed . The album again reached number 5 in France and hit the charts in Belgium and Switzerland. Except for the preliminary single Calumet , which came in at number 15, some of the album songs only reached lower chart positions.
