Di#se
What about Di#se? This young rapper is 17 years old. Is he talented, bright and full of future? Yes, he is. He was announced as the hope of the French Rap on social media, opening his heart for an authentic and very touching interview. Di#se, whose real name is DÊsirÊ, is an ambitious rapper from Quimper in Brittany, has sincerely amazed us when it comes to his career. His latest single, 'Genie', already listed in several Spotify playlists of the best rappers, has set the bar very high and can convince new listeners. The young rapper tells us everything about his devouring desire to break into rap thanks to his tenacity and talent. Can you tell me about your career? I started rap in 2014, when my big brother left Cameroon to join me in France. He is the one who passed on the love for this style of music, and things took a professional turn in 2016 when I participated in the Buzz Booster contest in Brittany. Basically, it’s an association called Hip Hop New School, which aims to promote Hip Hop culture in Brittany, but also throughout France. I won the final in Marseille and from there everything accelerated. I was signed by a label and then I could start working on my first album. I heard that this first album named Parfum was due out early September? Waaa! There are leaks around me! I see you already have a lot of info! (laughs) What I can tell you right now is that it's a really introspective album. The first album of an artist is a bit of a business card and people need to know who you are. The challenge behind this album was to propose something in keeping with my "artistic versatility". It was important to me that people could pin down the man I am behind my music. Why did you choose to focus more on introspection? I'm still young, and to my mind I didn't have the experience to talk about the world in general. I didn't want to fall into a meaningless and boring stuff. I preferred to focus on myself and the way I see things. What prompted you to call yourself Di#se? First, it was the diminutive of my first name, and secondly, on a piano, some keys are "above" others and it was a little ego trip touch to mean that.
