Tribute to Népal

How to pay tribute in the best possible way to an artist as talented and unique as Népal, the one who leaves an imperishable memory to French Rap? While the rapper passed away already one year ago already in November 2019, we decided to send you the latest press releases written by his relatives, as a final gift:

Press release on the 'Sundance' clip:

"In order to respect the artist's will, and for his artistic vision and voice to endure, his family and loved ones have decided to release all the projects planned by Népal itself. In October 2019, he had proposed to Nekfeu to play in the video clip of his song Sundance. To respect his memory, go to the end of his artistic process, and pay him a final tribute, this video is finally born. Népal had thought for this clip to Nekfeu, his long time friend, as the lead actor. The rapper interprets a version of himself that would have missed his dreams. The minimalist, uncluttered clip, like a Sundance clip, follows Nekfeu on a classic working day as a petrol station employee, as imagined by Népal. The video directed by Syrine Boulanouar (the co-director of Les Étoiles Vagabondes) [was released] on September 4, 2020".

As a final gift, 5 last tracks of Népal 'Dans Le Fond', 'Cheddar', 'Coach K', 'Même Vie' were broadcasted one after the other until the last track 'Benji' came to close the discography of the artist so much regretted by his public.

Press release on the end of Népal's projects:

"Our mission to all of us is accomplished. All Népal's projects have come to an end, in full respect of its art. Thus the perenniality of his work is guaranteed. Népal brought us together and allowed us to share unforgettable moments. So thank you to you his friends, who knew how to be at our side. You are incredible and magnificent. A special thanks to his manager, with whom we worked in complete confidence. Thank you also to the media, who understood and respected our approach. And thank you to his public, whom we found so caring and respectful. Népal's work lives and will always live. Thank you very much to all of you. His family."
