Following three installments of his Vue Des Blocks mixtape series, Marseille MC
Vincenzo eventually committed his take on West Coast rap to a full-length studio album in 2012 with
La Matrice. Its 18 tracks include collaborations with the
Psy 4 de la Rime collective he founded 17 years ago ("Washile") and bandmate
Alonzo (the title track), alongside contributions from dancehall duo
Brick & Lace ("Grenade"),
Said ("Blues"), and
VR ("Shawty"), and the singles, "Qui Nous Sommes," "R.A.P.," and "Dommages Collateraux."
