With Africa on My Sleeve
Paris Saint-Germain ! Le Parc des Princes ! You cannot dissociate that environment with the Phil Collins and Genesis influence. From there, an ongoing history of music inspired by the French club has been unfolding. It established the Parisian club as a hype and lit brand on the music scene. Enjoy these few PSG-inspired songs...
It is our sincerest hope that you’ve enjoyed the two year-end playlists we’ve put out earlier in the week as we crossed into 2020. We look forward to delve further into the patterns we were able to discern and share our thoughts on what’s to come. As such, the playlists serve as a preview. So...Continue reading
With a few exceptions, we’re in ‘Teintée Africaine‘ territory here. To lead us off is Niska’s chart-topping single “Médicament” with Booba. It should be noted that the rapper and his guest, who just released a ballad, have opted to sing instead of rapping. It’s a growing preference that purists might decry, but we can’t contest...Continue reading
Comme je le pensais la semaine dernière, il y’a du nouveau Booba à l’horizon. Je parle d’un nouveau single, “PGP”, tout juste sorti, qui rejoins des prestations acclamées sur les derniers sons de Bramsito (“Sale mood”), Dosseh (“MQTB”) ou encore Maes (“Madrina”). Ça s’annonce donc bien pour 2019 : disons qu’il faudra bien plus qu’un...Continue reading
L’année passée, j’ai passé quelque temps (et deux playlists) pour vous faire découvrir l’univers d’Elie Yaffa, que l’on connaît tous comme Booba. Étant plus préoccupé (et j’ai l’impression même plus intéressé) par un match de boxe avec un certain pair-devenu-enemi, on a pas eu droit à grand chose côté musique du Duc depuis son dernier...Continue reading

I hope you’ve enjoyed the chill (and slightly uptempo) vibes that we shared ealier in our recap playlist of the more memorable popular hits of this year. Similarly, we now propose a complementary playlist of party anthems. So, say goodbye 2018, but get off that seat and let us drive your hips into 2019. Happy...Continue reading
As my brother alluded, 2018 was a major year for us. A lot of lessons, tribulations, revelations, decisions and sacrifices. We’ve had successes, wins and losses but that’s how it goes. We are taking you through some of the popular tracks that made this past memorable for us. Thank you for the support. We do...Continue reading
In the closing video, a trio of Parisian childhood friends and students of music propose a medley of their summer favorites. With nothing but a cello, sparse percussions and their voices, Lucie, Elisa and Juliette are able to meld everything from the heavyweights to the less illustrious. Week-in and out, I attempt a similar feat...Continue reading
Don’t sleep on Chromeo. The guys have been bringing on the funk and good vibes for what seems like an eternity and this is no different. Other people you shouldn’t sleep on — and the homie Sen went at length as to why — are in here as well. So without further ado…
