Born to a mother from Senegal, a nursery school teacher, and a father from Guinea-Bissau, he grew up in the 18th arrondissement of Paris until the age of 12, then spent his teenage years in the Fougères district, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
During his teenage years, S.Pri Noir played American football in the Flash de la Courneuve club, twice winning the French championship with his team. Mendosa chose S.Pri Noir to use as a screen name on MSN Messenger, and later decided to adopt it for the stage.
He studied for a BTS Technico-commercial, a French sales and marketing qualification, while writing his first lyrics. He set up his own label, Nouvelle École, and signed to Sony together with three other rappers: Still Fresh, Moblack and Cerebro.

In 2013, he collaborated on the track Marche with 12 other rappers such as: Nekfeu, Disiz, Soprano, Sadek, Kool Shen, Akhenaton and many other artists.
In 2015, S.Pri Noir took part in the second annual AbbéRoad, a charity concert organised by the Abbé Pierre Foundation.
He joined S&S Tour with Sneazzy from March 2018, following a concert at La Cigale in October 2017.
He released his debut album Masque Blanc on 11 May 2018, which sold 6,000 copies in its first week and reached number 18 on the Top Albums chart in France, featuring collaborations with artists Nekfeu, Nemir and Still Fresh. The album went gold in France in March 2019.
