He also participated with the group Sexion d'Assaut in some songs. The disc contains nine songs.^[2]

Background

In parallel with his career with Sexion d'Assaut, Gims tried his hand at musical composition. At the end of 2006, he released his first solo project, a maxi entitled Ceux qui dorment les yeux ouverts.^[3]

The extended play was produced by ATK's Fredy K and Noko. With very few copies pressed, the disc aimed to make Gims known to the general public.^{[citation needed]} The record features tracks with Sexion d'Assaut, Scred Connexion rapper Koma and a singer named Carole.^[4]
