Kamenga Mbikay (born 1976), known as Sans Pression, is a Canadian rapper from Quebec. He is a member of hip hop band Treizième Étage. Sans Pression later became the solo project of SP. SP was born in Buffalo, New York, to Congolese parents, and; he grew up in Sherbrooke, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and Montreal. He formed the Sans Pression group along with his a Haitian friend, Jean-Philippe Guillaume, known as Ti-Kid, in 1997. Their performances featured heavier beats and stronger lyrics than were the norm for Quebec hip hop at the time. Their single "Numero 1" is used as one of Georges St-Pierre's UFC entrance themes. Their first album, entitled 514-50 dans mon réseau (514-50 in my networks, 514 being an area code of Montreal and 450 for Greater Montreal (excluding Montreal)), was released in 1999 and sold over 45,000 copies; the album was unusual in that the lyrics combined English and French. The pair proceeded go on tour together until a fallout led to their separation. Ti-Kid left Quebec in order to pursue Creole rap projects.
