Would you like to preview the debut of France's next hip-hop stars? Then we're looking forward to seeing you on September 13, 2025 at the heart of the Gaîté Lyrique for the grand final of the Hip Hop Talents competition in three disciplines: rap, dance and street art. After tough regional selections, six finalists in each field will face off on the forecourt and in the venue's main hall.
The jury includes rapper RIM'K, dancers BBOY JUNIOR and BADGYAL CASSIE, street artists HOPARE and VINIE, and Fred Musa, host of Skyrock's Planète Rap. At the end of the competition, each winner will receive a cheque for 5,000 euros and a personalized coaching grant.
How are the events organized? The street-art competition kicks off at 2pm. The six finalists will face off in two creative challenges: a 20-minute challenge on a free theme, followed by a challenge on an imposed theme for the 3 selected artists. For rap, from 4pm onwards, the six finalists will perform in a carte blanche format (2 min max) on the production of their choice, then the 4 remaining candidates will compete in a contest format on an imposed production (1 min max) before a final round.
In dance, the six finalists will have carte blanche starting at 4.45pm, then the 4 remaining candidates after this first round will compete in a Battle format. After a second jury vote, the two finalists will be announced. While the event is open free of charge to the curious throughout the afternoon, don't forget to reserve your seats!
