Sélection naturelle is the fourth studio album by French rapper Nessbeal. It was released on November 21, 2011 by 7th Magnitude and Sony Music France on iTunes. [1] The album entered and peaked the French Albums Charts at number 27. [2]
The album was conceived in 3 months during the summer of 2011. In an interview with Canal Street, Nessbeal explained that he was preparing an " Operation Desert Storm" with his producer Skread. This operation consisted of releasing three consecutive albums: Orelsan's Le chant des sirènes in September, Sélection naturelle in November and Isleym's Où ça nous mène later on. [3] Skread would therefore provide majority of the production for the three albums.
In the same interview, Nessbeal revealed the origin of the title of his fourth album.
[I named my album] Sélection naturelle (Natural selection) for the era in which we live. [...] It is an apocalyptic era where man has become worse than an animal. I am a fan of National Geographic. I really like the reports on the animals, watching how an anthill develops, or, for example, when a [female] crocodile gives birth to 6 [offspring] and only two of them manage to survive. [...] That's just to say that we have to survive in natural selection. I am a young lion cub and I have to survive in this urban jungle.
— Nessbeal, in an interview with Canal Street. [3]
