History
The cover realized by Armen is inspired by a famous photograph of Malcolm X where he held a weapon while looking out a window. The name Ouest Side is a reference to the fact that Booba comes from the western suburbs of Paris, and equally for his roots in Senegal, found in the west of Africa.
