Ever heard ofHip Hop Symphonique? Since 2016, this musical event has featured the great songs of French rap and RnB, arranged and re-orchestrated by Issam Krimi and Camille Pépin, and performed live by guest artists, accompanied for the occasion by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and live band The Ice Kream, under the artistic direction of Issam Krimi. This autumn, the new edition of Hip Hop Symphonique is not to be missed on Wednesday November 12, 2025 at the Maison de la RadioAuditorium.

But for this 10th edition, the musical event is pulling out all the stops, with an all-star line-up! Since its inception, Hip Hop Symphonique has welcomed some 70 artists, including IAM, Oxmo Puccino, Lous and the Yakuza, Mc Solaar, SCH, Meryl, Kalash, Selah Sue, Gazo, Soolking, Rim K, Chilla and Ninho. In 2023, Ronisia, Tayc, Tuerie and Werenoi put on a show. Then, in 2024, Josman was the one and only guest. In 2025, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Hip Hop Symphonique returned to its original formula, inviting no less than five artists on stage!

So, who are we talking about? Who has the honor of lighting up this latest edition of Hip Hop Symphonique?
