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.

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.[1]

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A series of consecutive releases of unpublished materials called Ceci n'est pas un Clip were released in anticipation: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