Pour ceux qui dorment les yeux ouverts (For those who sleep with their eyes open) is an extended play by Congolese-French rapper Gims, which was released on 7 December 2006.[1]

It was also Gims's first solo project produced by Wati B. He also participated with the group Sexion d'Assaut in some songs. The disc contains nine songs.[2]

Background

In parallel with his career with Sexion d'Assaut, Gims tried his hand at musical composition. At the end of 2006, he released his first solo project, a maxi entitled Pour ceux qui dorment les yeux ouverts.[3]

The extended play was produced by ATK's Fredy K and Noko. With very few copies pressed, the disc aimed to make Gims known to the general public.[citation needed] The record features tracks with Sexion d'Assaut, Scred Connexion rapper Koma and a singer named Carole.[4]
