The heavyweight poet of French rap
The great French chansonnier Charles Aznavour named him “one of the great poets of modern times”, we wholeheartedly agree. Kery James was only 10 when another legend, MC Solaar, discovered him rapping in the Parisian suburbs. He confirmed his prodigy status later on, with his rap collectives Idéal J and Mafia K-1 Fry, and solo, releasing over 7 outstanding albums. With one big leitmotif: an unrelenting commitment. The Frenchman is a pioneer who talks where others remain silent, with one heck of a flow and nothing but timeless songs. If you’ve seen him at work on stage, at Couleur Café 2008 or 2013 for example, you’ll know his shows will straight knock you out. Welcome back Mr. James!
