'''Sniper''' is a [[French hip hop]] band formed in 1997 in the [[Val-d'Oise]] department. It currently consists of [[Tunisiano]] (Bachir Baccour), Aketo (Ryad Selmi) and [[Blacko (singer)|Blacko]]. Afrikaf (Karl Appela) was also a member fromwhen the group's formationformed toin 2004;. Blacko had also left the band in 2007, but had returned in 2016.
== Beginnings ==
The members of Sniper first met at the 1997 [[Les Francofolies de La Rochelle|Francofolies]] festival at [[La Rochelle]]. There, DJ Boudj and the three rappers, Aketo, Tunisiano and Blacko, met and decided to form the group, originally called '''Personnalité suspecte''' (Suspicious Character). This name was abbreviated to ''Persni'' and finally ended up as ''Sniper'', an example of the French slang form, known as ''[[verlan]]''.
The three members form a complementary group, as Aketo and El Tunisiano have developed more of a rap style and Blacko prefers an approach closer to reggae; meanwhile DJ Boudj takes care of the [[scratching]]. They began by making appearances on various mixes and compilations, such as ''The Power of Unity'', ''Première classe'' (First Class) and ''B.O.S.S.''.
