Ärsenik is a rap group base in Villiers-le-Bel, France, founded in 1992, and made up of two brothers, Lino (Gaëlino M'Bani) and Calbo (Calboni M'Bani), whose family is originally from Congo. Until 1997, the group also included Tony Truand, a cousin. In 1998, their first album "Quelques gouttes suffisent" went double gold. A new album was planned for 2005, but the two brothers instead decided to concentrate on solo albums. Lino released "Paradis Assassiné" en 2005, which was the name of a solo song on the group's second album. In 2007 the group released a disc titled "S'il en reste quelque chose," which included the most popular songs from the two brothers, such as "L'enfer remonte à la surface", "Rime & chatiments" and "Sexe, pouvoir & biftons."
