After having established himself as a continental superstar singer in Africa with his first three albums solos, all produced by David Monsoh, Fally now wanted to open up to the French and more generally Western record market.

Featured guest appearances include Booba, MHD, Aya Nakamura, KeBlack, Naza, Wizkid, R. Kelly, and Shay.

[2][3][4] Before devoting himself to the realization of his third urban album, Fally takes care of putting forward his own label F'Victeam, which also operated as a backing band.

[16][17] In mid-2013, Fally revealed that his forthcoming international album would be titled Neti Na Film, an aphorism translating to "Like in a movie," which encapsulates his new catchphrase.

[22] Tokooos stands out from Fally's previous works as it entirely adopts an urban style with a blend of R&B, Congolese rumba, Afropop, and rap.

[35] Notables such as Nigerian singer Davido, Cameroonian rapper Stanley Enoh, and footballers Djibril Cissé and Alex Song participated in the challenge.

[26][41][38][42] On June 16, while making Tokooos available for pre-order, Fally issued, without announcement, the "Bad Boy", a track that contains a sample of a guitar riff played by Simaro Lutumba in his 1982 TPOK Jazz song "Faute ya Commerçant".

[54][55] Thank you to all my warriors, and to all lovers of good music; thank you to the artists and composers who participated in this project; thank you to my teams, my label Elektra France, this is your golden record!

[57][58] The first leg commenced on 2 September 2017, in Lomé, Togo,[59][60] and concluded on 19 February 2018 in Los Angeles,[61][62][63] with concerts and showcases held in cities such as Nairobi,[58][64] Lyon,[65] Bordeaux,[66] Frankfurt,[67] Kinshasa, Brazzaville, Cotonou, Lusaka, Bamako, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Abidjan, and Luanda.

[71][72] The second leg was launched in March–August 2018 and featured a series of concerts and showcases in several countries, including Spain,[73] France,[74] Senegal,[75] the Democratic Republic of the Congo,[76] Norway,[77] Italy,[78] Burkina Faso,[79] Cameroon,[80] Zimbabwe,[81] Zambia,[82] and Botswana.

[83][84][85] Ipupa became the first Kinshasa-based Congolese artist to obtain a gold record certified by SNEP as well as the first soloist from Central Africa to achieve this feat.
