True, he is such a talented atalaku! I'm surprised he stayed as long as he did with Wenge El Paris despite back to back flops

He joined Quartier Latin briefly. Wenge El Paris was voted as the best band of Congo in 1998 and Bizima Kondos getting "palme d'or" as best atalaku of the year. But despite all succes they weren't going to Europe. He got mocked for that at some point, because back that to confirm yourself as a big artist you had to go Europe and come back to Kinshasa. So he decided to join Quartier Latin just after the release of Attentat. He participated to the preparations of Bercy, the majority of the new cries CNN did at Bercy, were those of him (for example "Koko Wele" which was a tribute to his late grandfather who died and "Tshiolilo" that was sung by Bayuda du Congo in Chute Katende) and performed with them at Intercontinental for the presentation of Attentat. They were supposed to animate at Bercy with three atalaku's CNN, Bizima and Ocean (RIP). When the trip came Bizima was blocked at that airport despite having a visa, Marie Paul had his guys working there and didn't want him to go to Europe. Koffi decided to give him his passport and some money, saying that he had to travel through Brazzaville and get the plane there. But Bizima had the badluck that Marie Paul's sidechick (I will not mention her name) was the head there. So he was also blocked here. This all made him miss Bercy, he was quickly approached by El Paris and returned. The moment he returned he immediately insulted Koffi on tv. That's also why Koffi refused to salute him during the show EL Paris made at Cabaret Sauvage where he was a guest. Marie Paul asking him didn't you see Bizima and Koffi replying they are all my little brothers, not mentioning Bizima but just Dello Bass. The first show of Bizima was immediatly a big event. It was the show at YMCA in Matongé, where they had a
fara-fara against Werrason who was performing at Stade des Martyrs. Werrason making the strategic mistake to drive with his motorcycle in front of YMCA wanting to steal all fans of El Paris and bring them to the stadium, thinking that Marie Paul was finished. But the El Paris reacting by throwing stones towards him and Werrason falling down 3x times, his bodyguards helping to out get quickly from the place. The incident with Werrason, inspired the EL Paris to name their album K.O. Debout, to refer the Werra's fall. Bizima even rapping about it the beginning of the generique. "1ère K.O.", "2ème K.O.", "3ème K.O." The way how Werrason got assaulted was filmed and created alot of polemic when it was put on tv. It created disgust towards El Paris and but also excitement for those who were against Werrason. As for Bizima, he made his comeback by once again using a song of late Marie Misamu, during the concert. He was the first atalaku to use religious songs as cries, already since 1998. He was only unlucky that they weren't making it in albums and other atalaku's getting the credit of it.
