My ex used to love this guy

My all time favourite has always been Akhenaton. He's got a real solid flow, a slight lisp and some kick ass lyrics.
Saw NTM live a few years ago and those old geezas still got it.

Check out "French The Kid"
Straight fire!

ouid

MC Solar - hands down the best french rapper ever!

Cane here to say this!

As everything this is a matter of taste, I do not consider that my country is really a rap nation but we had some good ones in 90's / 2000's like IAM, Fonky Family La Rumeur, Alibi Montana....
Another example

superbe

Very Old Skool

And again - same era Hip Hop reaches the Gallic shores

B-Side is also on some of Afrika Bambataa's early stuff such as Time Zone's "Wild Style"

She came to Paris at the same time than him

I like section d' assaut. It's like gangsta pop. MC solaar for the old skool

Pour les old schools

French the kid 🙌

Booba! 🇫🇷

I see the obvious MC Solaar mentioned a few times already. How about L'skadrille?

For crew, maybe 357 MP.

It's been a long time since I've delved into that scene, other than listening to Chilla in recent years.

oui!

Old school: NTM, Assassin, triptick, peauple d'herb, IAM...

For their skills: sain supa krew, cut killer

New scholl... C2C

Rockin'squat (or RCKNSQT), former and leader of the the group "assassin". A legend!
Also, IAM, and Fabe (from the "scred connexion" group)

IAM and all the solo projects (Akhenaton/Shurik'n), Orelsan, Caribbean Dandee....

Im always looking for new french rap. I love it...but i dont speak French, so i never know the song names haha
