Jeune Lion

A French-Ivorian rapper originally from Côte d’Ivoire, Jeune Lion forges his path at the crossroads of afro-urban music and trap with mystical overtones. With a deep, composed voice, inhabited lyrics and imagery that oscillates between the sacred and the street, he assembles a hybrid universe of vocal lines, percussion and dark sonic layers. His African new wave sounds raw and contemporary, crafted for both the stage and close headphone listening.

Backed by a growing community and more than 180,000 monthly listeners, he has established himself with each release as one of the most striking figures of the current Ivorian rap scene. In 2024 his tour brought him to Paris, where he played two sold-out shows at La Place. In the wake of that success, he is preparing Babylone Brûle, a project conceived as a chiaroscuro narrative that moves between inner visions, urban reality and a drive to transcend.

In 2026, Jeune Lion hits the road for the Babylone Brûle Tour. Join him on 18 March 2026 at Le Transbordeur in Villeurbanne for a live show where his tracks take on new dimensions—heavy bass, irresistible hooks and suspended moments. It’s an opportunity to dive into his next chapter, between street energy and spiritual searching, and to discover on stage the singular blend that defines his signature.
