If you grew up listening to 2Pac, Dr. Dre and Eminem, and know the latest albums by Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug, Future and Luidji by heart, then you're a die-hard rap and hip-hop music fan! And you probably spend a lot of time in concert halls, listening to memorable rap and hip-hop concerts.
Over the next few months, you're in for a treat, as a host of French and international artists from this musical movement plan to hit the roads of France, and make one or more stops in Paris, to defend their latest album live. Every year, a large number of rap and hip-hop artists take to the stage in Paris to honor this unique musical style, which continues to grow in popularity.
Parisian venues are therefore more than willing to welcome these artists. In recent months, Parisians have been able to discover Macklemore live at the Zénith de La Villette, Soprano at the Stade de France, Kendrick Lamar at theAccor Arena, Booba at Paris La Défense Arena and then at the Stade de France, as well as Lil Nas X, Rohff, Orelsan and Laylow.
In the near future, new artists are set to light up the City of Light and take over the capital's concert halls, demonstrating that rap and hip-hop music have indeed become an essential musical style in Paris.
