Denzo
Thanks to this wonderful album that allows Denzo to enter the Rap Game by the big door, the latter surprised everyone by offering his fans a first album both touching and fabulous. Although Denzo shook up our assumptions with a rich and diversified project ranging from bangers - in which we know he is unstoppable - to summer hits and genuine songs written with an open heart, the young 20-year-old artist has set the bar very high. Humble, sincere and honest, the rapper who grew up in Grigny (91) in the suburbs of Paris, didn't hesitate to speak candidly to A Rap & A Cup Of Tea about the competition that exists in the Rap industry today and his desire to share - the very essence of Rap in his eyes. As he says in his song "Parolier" (Lyricist), "Dans le terter je suis le parolier" (In this hood, I'm the lyricist) and one must admit that he knew how to successfully describe the environment in which he grew up, the same environment that gave him the desire to get out of it in life. Resourceful and ambitious, Denzo speaks about his beginnings in music until the rise of his first album, a real "Pépite".
I want to know everything, how did you start in the Rap world? I started with a group called 3GC, when I was 13 years old and now I'm 20 years old so I've been rapping for 7 years. Well you know at first, I wasn't serious about it... (laughs) I was just rapping and goofing around with my friends. When they decided to stop, I chose to continue. It was hard at the beginning before my producers joined me on my projects, because I had to pay for everything myself. The studio, my videos, etc.. And then I met the people who are now my producers. They're the big guys from my neighborhood. From there, we created our label Royal Music and one thing leading to another, we got signed and it allowed us to release our first album in July. Was it hard to pay for your own songs when you were younger? Yes it was hard because I had to do it on my own. I had to write the lyrics, get the money to take an Uber to the studio, I had to pay for my own clothes, I had to eat every day, you know? I really had to do everything. Right, and at what point did you realize that you wanted to pursue Rap Music and nothing else, even if it was hard doing it? Well, I used to play football and I was good at it too. But I saw that there were many talented people in this field. Rap was such a passion that I ended up giving up football. That's really when I knew that I wanted to pursue only Rap music, that was all I had in mind.
