8ruki

8ruki arrives at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris on February 18, 2027. A leading figure of the new wave of web-born rap, he has crafted a sound that sits between rap and trap, threaded with harsher electronic textures and nourished by plug, rage and club aesthetics. On stage, his tracks move fast, the bass is pronounced, and his heavy use of autotune makes his voice slide from rapping into singing. His fragmented writing — alternating dark imagery and everyday details — locks onto punchy, frontal productions designed for live performance, with an energy that borrows from the club.

Through a series of short projects, singles and collaborations, 8ruki has built a repertoire meant to keep the room on edge. In concert he plays without pause, pushes the BPM, toys with build-ups and drops, and teases out melodic hooks amid heavy kicks. At the Élysée Montmartre, expect a compact, intense set where the rap/trap/electro hybridization fully comes into its own, calibrated for the pit and for movement.
