Early life and beginnings

Samy and Karim are from the Cité Gagarine district of Ivry-sur-Seine.[2] They started rapping with a few friends from the neighborhood and Karim's cousins: Tarik and Nabil Andrieu brothers, who later formed the PNL.[3] Karim has appeared on PNL's 2015 mixtape, Que la famille and 2015 album, Le Monde Chico.[4]

Formation and breakthrough

Formed in 2015, they made their debut with the release of an extended play (EP) titled Le H avant le B.[5] In 2016, the duo released its first album La hass avant le bonheur, followed by the second, Sans rêve in the next year.[6] In 2017, the duo was selected as one of the opening acts for PNL's six-city tour in France.[7]

In 2019, DTF released its third album On ira où ?, which has peaked at number four in the French albums chart.[8] For the promotion of the album, the duo gave its first television interview to Mouloud Achour's Canal+ show Clique.[9]
