Biography

Born to a mother from Senegal, a nursery school teacher, and a father from Guinea-Bissau, he grew up in the 18th arrondissement of Paris until the age of 12, then spent his teenage years in the Fougères district, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.{{Cite web |title=S.Pri Noir |url=https://genius.com/artists/Spri-noir |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211226045131/https://genius.com/artists/Spri-noir |archive-date=2021-12-26 |access-date=2018-09-13 |website=Genius |language=French}}

During his teenage years, S.Pri Noir played American football in the {{lang|fr|Flash de la Courneuve}} club, twice winning the French championship with his team.{{Cite journal |date=2017-09-14 |title=S.Pri Noir : "Mettre tout le monde d'accord" - Modzik |url=http://www.modzik.com/musique/interview/itw-s-pri-noir-nouvelle-egerie-adidas-eqt/ |journal=Modzik |language=French |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220518184533/https://www.modzik.com/musique/interview/itw-s-pri-noir-nouvelle-egerie-adidas-eqt/ |archive-date=2022-05-18 |access-date=2018-09-13}} Mendosa chose S.Pri Noir to use as a screen name on MSN Messenger, and later decided to adopt it for the stage.

He studied for a {{lang|fr|BTS Technico-commercial}}, a French sales and marketing qualification, while writing his first lyrics. He set up his own label, Nouvelle École, and signed to Sony together with three other rappers: Still Fresh, Moblack and Cerebro.{{Cite web |title=Nouvelle Ecole |url=https://www.discogs.com/fr/label/856472-Nouvelle-Ecole |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220126020131/https://www.discogs.com/fr/label/856472-Nouvelle-Ecole |archive-date=2022-01-26 |access-date=2022-01-25 |website=Discogs |language=French}}

Between 2008 and 2009, he joined the collective L'Institut du 75 (which later became "L'Institut") made up of numerous rappers including Jarod, Dr Beriz (Toxmo at the time), Abou Debeing and 1solent. He also performed on the first two volumes of À la Fuck you.
