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 fan of rap and hip-hop music! And you probably also spend a lot of time in concert halls, rocking out 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 rap and hip-hop artists are set to hit the roads of France, with one or more stops in Paris, to defend their latest albums live. Every year, many rap and hip-hop artists take to the stage in Paris to honor this unique musical style, which continues to grow in popularity.
As a result, many Parisian venues play host to 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.
