Chily

Chily will be at the Zénith de Paris on 25 September 2026. Born in Kinshasa and now based in the Paris region, the rapper delivers French-language rap nourished by Afro influences, melodic hooks and shifts between French, Lingala and Bambara. He first drew attention with the series of street clips Complètement Rebanav, then with tracks like San Pellegrino and Tiens ton pantalon, built on festive productions, flexible cadences and a constantly evolving sense of rhythm.

On stage, Chily bets on energy and contrast. His verses move between nonchalant humor, street narratives and more direct tension, with language switches that reinvigorate the tempo. With a mobile flow, memorable hooks and highly visual gestures, the set shifts from club vibes to darker tones, carried by agile rhythms and insistent melodies. At the Zénith he brings together the songs that broadened his visibility alongside more recent material, letting each track carry as many echoes of African music as of street-rap codes, without locking himself into a single register.
