Roshi

Roshi, formerly Captain Roshi, advances with a hoarse, gripping voice and a dark rap rooted in trap. Born in Congo and arriving in France at 11, he shaped his style by blending his influences before finding his signature: sung hooks, drier verses, heavy bass, synth washes and slow to mid‑tempo rhythms. His lyrics address the street, power dynamics and a form of introspection, echoing a trajectory across the 18th arrondissement, Saint‑Denis and Villeneuve‑Saint‑Georges. In Rennes, Le Liberté will host him on 23 October 2026 for a set that features his latest releases and the tracks that established him on the scene.

Projects such as Attaque, Contre‑Attaque, W.A.R. and Larosh punctuate his path, while collaborations with his contemporaries anchor his rap in a new Francophone wave connected to trap aesthetics and the codes of online rap. On stage, Roshi plays in contrasts: a composed, sometimes nonchalant delivery that can swell into tension, precise vocal gimmicks and hazy atmospheres. A direct, recognizable formula, true to what defines his stamp.
