With the older generation currently fading away, there is a new french rap scene taking shape in the centre of Paris. With new leaders stepping in such as Despo Rutti, Youssoupha, Lefa and Maitre Gims, there are definite leaders paving the way for a thriving scene.
One of our current favourites is the rapper going by the name of Maitre Gims. He is an extremely talented artist from the already notorious crew “Sexion d’assaut” whose discipline involves singing, songwriting and rapping. It’s between singing and rap that he excels with songs like “Africain” and “Avant qu’elle parte” With striking lyrics and an almost super human energy, his records tell authentic stories which speak to the heart of todays disenfranchised Youth. Many people within the Hip-hop community consider him to be a pioneering force in the future of French Rap.
As a man from a distinctly musical background, Maitre Gims understands the true essence of music and rhythm. His most recent release, “Close Your Eyes” which you can see below, feature on a solo album entitled “Subliminal” on general release on the 20th May 2013.
“Ever since his mixtapes and homemade music videos started appearing on the internet A$AP Rocky has been a force to be reckoned with in, not just hip hop, but the music scene as a whole. The 24-year-old rapper from Harlem, New York is not your average rapper, he has no time for rap stereotypes and don’t even think about calling him a gangster. Instead A$AP Rocky (it stands for Always Strive and Prosper in case you were wondering) champions fashion, art and individuality, passions that have led to the artist being on the receiving end of a slew of negative comments and judgement from musical peers. But when we meet Rocky, a mere three weeks after the death of his father, we’re not met by another rap cliché, or an egotistical personality that one might expect from someone of his fame, but instead a charming, dedicated and overall fiercely intelligent individual. Hip hop could do with borrowing A$AP Rocky’s notes.” Read the full interview of A$ap Rocky by Hungertv right HERE
