Songfacts®:

  • "Bolide Noir" is a bilingual collab between Central Cee and Paris rapper JRK 19 in which they explore the grind for success, stacking up cash, and the personal journeys both artists have been on. JRK's chorus is all about getting out of his home city and chasing dreams.
  • "Bolide Noir" translates to "Black Meteor" in English. "Bolide" is often used to refer to high-performance sports cars. In the lyrics, JRK 19 mentions being "alone in the black bolide" (J'suis tout seul dans le bolide noir), alluding to an expensive black sports car.
  • Central Cee previously linked with French rappers Freeze Corleone on "Polémique" in 2021, and Ninho on "Eurostar" in 2023. "Bolide Noir" continues his connection with Gallic rap.
  • French producer Harrison Dock helmed the track. He has collaborated with several notable artists in the French rap scene, notably Maes.
