Booba and Rohff’s fingerprints linger, yet Yorssy’s route diverges — more asphalt than nostalgia, more jab than tribute. Having sharpened his profile during Netflix’s “Nouvelle École” Season 3, he now trades reality-show framing for taut, tightly authored tracks.

“Nowhere” lingers somewhere between fog and confession, where Bouss slips into sparse, atmospheric production to muse on detachment and inner unrest. The French rapper from Colombes, Paris, bends his cadence with restrained melancholy, letting the verses unravel like half-heard thoughts at the end of a long metro line. Following the gold-certified “Parler tout bas,” this track is less declaration than whispered retreat. Song featured on the album : Et Si J’Échoue ? Parler Tout Bas (2024) |

On “Matching,” Kairo Keyz and Twin S trade lines over clipped UK drill percussion, layering slick rhythm with a knowing wink toward luxury flaunting.

![]() Date Added : May 8,2025

So La Zone, who first drew attention with his 2023 debut “De la cellule au château,” keeps his delivery precise, brushing up against Alonzo’s seasoned cadence with calculated tension. The track straddles resilience and defiance, eschewing sentiment for razor-lined loyalty. Song featured on the album : Pile Ou Face La Rue M’A Eu (2022) |

![]() Date Added : May 8,2025
“Same Shit” assembles Murda Beatz, Montell Fish, and Bktherula over a skeletal beat credited to dj gummy bear, spiraling through monotony and malaise. Fish’s refrain, “I wake up every morning I do the same shit,” becomes a mantra of burnout, framed in looping auto-tune and worn-out resolve. Murda Beatz, Toronto-born and trap-versed, constructs a minimalist soundscape where resignation wears lip gloss and shrugs in rhythm.

The track moves with casual urgency, as if multitasking between ambition and flirtation. Music video directed by : Jurist District |

![]() Date Added : May 8,2025
Mister You and Ninho align their verses on ““+34””, a track that dials into themes of escape and coded communication, borrowing Spain’s country code for not-so-discreet rendezvous. With a line like “rappelle-moi sur le plus 34 par l’Espagne,” the track toys with the notion of distance as privacy, where borders mask intent and burner phones don’t ask questions. Active since 2003, Mister You adds grit shaped by his Parisian-Moroccan roots, while Ninho threads his habitual finesse. Song featured on the album : Pls Les P’Tits De Chez Moi (2010) |

“Undo Button” pairs Chronic Law’s brooding cadence with Slingerz Records’ muted production to sketch a portrait of remorse that resists resolution. Framed as a tribute to Adrianna Younge and Alexandrianna Jones, the track imagines a rewind function for life’s missteps, minus the theatrics. Campbell, hailing from Jamaica’s east side, trades bravado for reflection, navigating grief through restrained dancehall textures and stark lyricism.

Produced by Undergroun Beats, the track maneuvers through the contours of North African hip hop with a percussive minimalism that resists easy categorization. La Mass Le Vrai, based in Algeria, filters socially aware lyrics through a stylistic lens that privileges grit over gloss. Music video directed by : Monteser Filmacker Emmm (2024) |
1 . Clavish – Red Riding Hood![]() |
![]() Date Added : May 8,2025
“Red Riding Hood” sees Clavish reworking a childhood fable into something far less innocent, swapping the forest for North London streets and cloaking his bars in allusions wrapped in deadpan menace. The single, released in April 2025, throws fairy-tale imagery into the cold realism of UK rap, with Clavish’s clipped delivery underlining a narrative where no huntsman arrives in time. Following his 2023 mixtape and “Rocket Science,” the track marks another step in his lyrical shapeshifting. Traumatised (2023) |
