L’Apogée is the third official album by French rap group Sexion d'Assaut composed of Maître Gims, Lefa, Barack Adama, Maska, JR O Crom, Black M, Doomams, and L.I.O. Petrodollars. This album was released on 5 March 2012, in stores and available for download.

History

In November 2011, an unofficial date for the album's release was announced for 20 February 2012 but on 17 December 2011, the official date was unveiled as 5 March 2012. The first title unveiled by the band is "Mets pas celle là", 11 December 2011 (after the 'Welcome To The Wa' video shot in the album's laboratory, an isolated place in Normandy). The second title unveiled on 30 December, 2011 (after the Welcome To The Wa II video) is Gold Disc. The third single from L'Apogée is announced by Lefa during the Planète Rap special 22 May in Bercy for Thursday 5 January 2012. It does not however give the name, Maska simply specifying that this song will be "sentimentally strong". On 5 January, the third single from the album, "Avant qu'elle parte", was released.

The Apogée is a diamond disc with more than 500,000 copies sold. The album has since sold more than 700,000 copies. L'Apogée is their last appearance on the album released with French rappers Maître Gims, L.I.O. Pétrodollars and Barack Adama, after the departure of the Wati B.
