Spider Zed

A rapper from Saint-Étienne and a member of the High Five Crew, Spider ZED has carved out a distinctive place in independent rap with a flexible blend of rap phrasing and light singing. He lays his voice over understated productions, often tinged with pop and melancholy, and writes with a close attention to everyday life. Humor, self-deprecation and a certain nonchalance nourish lyrics that address anxiety, relationships, work, doubt and the uncertainties of early adulthood. First noticed online with a series of tracks and videos, he has refined his approach through successive projects, notably alongside the Forchetta label, broadening his palette without losing his direct delivery and observational eye.

On 11 November 2026, he takes the stage at Le Ferrailleur in Nantes. Live, Spider ZED moves between spoken rap, chanson and indie pop, favouring stripped-back arrangements and an intimacy without unnecessary effects. Between songs already familiar to his community and new material, the concert highlights tight songwriting, melancholic but clear-eyed atmospheres, and that frank tone that lets him turn the annoyances of everyday life into memorable choruses.
