Niska

He arrived as an unknown, and he will leave unforgettable. Today, Niska lives in the minds of millions thanks to a style of rap that leaves no one indifferent. In France, but far beyond: in just a few years, the rapper from Essonne has become one of the most dazzling ambassadors of French-language music outside the country’s borders. And this is anything but a coincidence—Niska’s boldness is as disconcerting as it is fascinating. Each of his hits is a shot of adrenaline you can’t get enough of: an invitation to dance, an emancipatory anthem that frees the body and encourages letting go. The perfect blend of African sounds that inspire today’s pop and the sharp energy of French rap.
“I am the symbol of what rap has become: an unapologetic music that speaks to everyone.”

After performing to a packed Accor Arena on November 16, Niska released Le Monde est Méchant V2, a reissue of his latest project, which is already certified Gold. At the same time, he surpassed the milestone of one million albums sold in his career.

Niska embodies a diverse and proud France, leading a culture that has managed to gain large-scale recognition. His latest project gives us yet another opportunity to celebrate him as such.
