Kany

**Kany** (born Aboubakar Traoré) is a Paris-born rapper and singer who emerged as a fresh voice in France’s urban music scene around the late 2010s. Known for his laidback flow and genre-blending style, he mixes punchy hip-hop beats with Afroswing rhythms and melodic pop hooks, creating tracks that vibe equally in clubs or chill settings. His lyrics often tackle relatable themes like self-confidence ("J'me préfère"), romantic ups and downs ("Entre toi et moi"), and everyday hustle, delivered with a mix of introspection and playful swagger.

With releases like *Afrodisiac* and *Level Up*, Kany showcases his versatility, flipping between fiery rap verses and smooth sung choruses. Tracks like *Pas pied* and *Du sale* highlight his knack for catchy, streetwise anthems, while stripped-back acoustic versions (like *Goumin (Acoustique)*) reveal his melodic depth. While keeping a relatively low-key public profile, Kany’s consistent output and ear for hybrid sounds have cemented him as a low-key staple in modern French rap’s eclectic wave.
