Hippocampe Fou, literally translating to "Crazy Seahorse" in French, is a whimsical French rapper known for his eclectic mixes of hip-hop with a poetic twist and a vibrant storytelling style. His imaginative lyrics often plunge listeners into a fantastical world of his own creation, where playful narratives and unconventional themes play out over dynamic beats and melodic backdrops. He first splashed onto the scene around 2010 and has since developed a reputation for being one of the more original and colorful characters in the Francophone rap community.

Having a penchant for underwater metaphors and a universe characterized by a mix of adventure and surrealism, Hippocampe Fou's discography boasts an impressive array of albums and EPs that capture his unique artistic vision. Among his more recent releases are "L'Odyssée d'Hippo," which may be seen as a modern interpretation of Homer's epic journey under the sea, and "Céleste," taking his lyrical prowess to the cosmic level. Other notable tracks include "J'aime pas danser" and "La thune de ma femme," songs that are suffused with his characteristic humor and candor. Through his work, Hippocampe Fou has not only cemented his presence in the French music domain but also drawn international attention to his poetic rap genre.
