La Veille De La Musique

On June 20, 2026 at La Boule Noire in Paris, Cap1talA, a 23-year-old rapper of Nigerian origin who grew up between Kent and Brixton, deploys a hip-hop rooted in ’90s jazz, soul and British grime. His writing, introspective and precise, addresses struggle, resourcefulness, relationships, institutional inequalities and mental health. Spare narratives carried by mellow instrumentals and a direct, uncompromising groove.

Saiming comes from south London and pushes hybridisation far: grime, neo-jazz and alternative hip-hop intersect there effortlessly. Nicknamed “S-travagant Man,” he pairs cutting lyricism with productions built on jazz samples. A sound that is both edgy and supple, firmly anchored in British culture.

Maylie, an emerging Parisian artist, traces her line between pop, rap and electro. Spotted from her first single BIJOU BIJOU, which received wide airplay in France in 2025, she followed up in 2026 with a series of releases. A frank voice, crisp melodies and clear beats — a format that works as well live as through headphones.
