Who's Gambi?

A million views only 6 hours after its release and already a huge buzz generated around his new single. In the present case, we're not talking about the figures of a pillar of the music industry, but rather about the newcomer in French Rap, Gambi.

Starting his career in 2018 by publishing his 'Makak' video series on Youtube, Gambi worked in parallel as a sushi delivery worker. Originally from the Parisian suburb of Val-De-Marne (94), he ended up in the French charts for weeks in August 2019 with his song ‘Hé Oh’. Arriving like a UFO in the French Rap, Gambi is now one of the most played rappers. It’s also very possible that you have already heard this song because he had the chance to be included in the Top 50 World of Spotify.

His video ‘Popopop’ has been widely talked about in the media and on social network, as a murder scene is exposed to denounce street violence. A quality clip with dark looks that contrasts with Gambi’s joyful personality.

Only 20 years old and he’s already signed in the label Rec 118 the same one as “la crème de la crème” of French-speaking rappers such as Ninho, Hamza, SCH and Soprano. Gambi really seems to flourish in the Rap Game, which opens its doors to him with a certain pride. The young rapper, more and more asked to do featurings with, admitted he has always been attracted by the Rap world, especially by the US one with artist such as Chief Keef who influenced him a lot.

Playful, energetic and joyful by nature, Gambi conveys a feeling of cheerfulness through his dancing music tinged with Latin sounds and Trap one. Nevertheless, despite appearances, Gambi remains a very discreet boy. Indeed, the young rapper has never given an interview since the beginning of his career and keeps part of the mystery that intrigues and fascinates his audience.

For the year 2020, an album is being prepared, of course in the greatest secrecy.
