Who's Doums?

It has been two years since Doums didn’t release a project but we can say that he returned stronger than ever. It was at the end of 2019 that Doums announced his return with the release of several projects for his fans’ delight.

Originally from the 9th arrondissement of Paris, Doums began his career on Parisian stages surrounded by his most loyal mates. Backer of Nekfeu at his beginnings, he later creates with eight rapper friends, the collective L’ Entourage alongside Alpha Wann, Jazzy Bazz, Deen Burbigo, Nekfeu... Also a member of the incredible 2fingz duo with Népal - also known as KLM - Doums quickly climbed the ranks to reach an important position in French Rap.

In 2017, Doums released his first solo project called Pilote which definitely propelled his career. Mainly recognized for his technical Rap, rich rhymes and innovative sounds, Doums created a solid fanbase throughout the years. An asset that will be even more praised with his remarkable Colors Show with the song 'Intro' in 2018. On 13 December 2019, Doums returns once again with his new EP called Pilote & Co featuring several artists such as 2Zer, Abou Tall, Nekfeu or Népal.

Despite his absence with a solo project, Doums remained truly active in the Rap Game. We regularly saw him appear on the project of his different mates as on the wicked ‘Notting Hill’ from the mixtape Blackbird of DJ Elite which made us dance all summer long. We also saw him on the sound ‘Reason’ with the musician Waxx, and of course on the projects of his two sidekicks - Népal with ‘Millionaire’ and Nekfeu featuring with rapper Framal on “L'Air Du Temps” - on their respective projects.

On February 13, the video clip ‘Onda’ featuring rapper S.Pri Noir was released on YouTube with Nekfeu as director of photography and Jean Guillosson as filmmaker. Shot in Mali, the country where Doums is originally from, we must admit that the visual is a high-quality one and enable us to discover the city of Bamako through the rapper's eyes. Very attached to his people, this video perfectly embodies the main idea of his last project Pilote & Co where solidarity and the importance of being with loved ones are essential for the artist.

We’re already looking forward to seeing what Doums has in store for us.
