mona guba

Mona Guba has from France been developing a project at the crossroads of rap and chanson, with a direct writing, often ironic, focused on intimate and social subjects. Her universe rests on incisive lyrics, carried by a spoken-sung phrasing and a way of making frontality, self-deprecation, and observation of daily life coexist. Mona Guba came to be noticed in the early 2020s with tracks where questions related to power relations, sexism, and the place of women surface, without locking herself into a single register. Her music moves between hip-hop rhythms, more melodic refrains and contemporary productions, in a tightened format that prioritizes text efficiency. On stage, Mona Guba works a direct relationship with the audience, playing on the contrast between the gravity of the themes and humorous distance. The biographical information available about her remains limited, but streaming platforms and musical directories attest to a recent emergence and a settled presence in the new Francophone rap scene.
