Cinquième As ("Fifth Ace") is the fifth studio album by French rapper MC Solaar, originally released in 2001. The record leans into lush, string-laden, R&B-tinged production, with Solaar drawing on his own Senegalese heritage and childhood move to the Paris suburbs to weave personal narrative with critiques of international finance and the immigrant experience in France. The album peaked at #2 in France and Belgium and was certified double platinum, cementing Solaar's place as one of French hip-hop's defining voices. This 2026 pressing marks the album's 25th anniversary with a fresh vinyl edition.
This pressing is the international collector's variant of the 25th anniversary reissue, carrying the bilingual title Cinquième As / Fifth Ace and pressed on cream-colored vinyl as a limited export edition alongside the standard black-vinyl release.
