Sniper

Sniper arrives at SKOPE in Lannion on December 6, 2026. Formed in 1997 in the Val-d’Oise, the crew brings together Aketo, Tunisiano, Blacko and DJ Boudj, with a signature that combines direct writing and vivid imagery, straddling social observation and punchlines cut for the stage. Their rap marked a generation with Du rire aux larmes, Gravé dans la roche and Trait pour trait, three touchstones where storytelling, awareness and ear‑catching choruses intersect.

On stage, the group plays on the complementarity of voices and flows, moving from personal narratives to commentary on everyday life, and relies on Boudj’s work at the decks to deepen the atmospheres. The setlist navigates between foundational tracks and more recent songs, rearranged for the live show, with a sensibility for contrast between introspective passages and more direct sequences. Without frills, Sniper prioritizes the effectiveness of the word, call‑and‑response dynamics and a rhythmic approach that leaves space for the lyrics. A return to the essentials of group rap—solid and unvarnished—in a format designed for closeness and shared energy.
