Ozel

**Ozel** is a French-Turkish rapper who’s carved out a unique space in the French hip-hop scene with his gritty beats and introspective lyrics. Blending his multicultural roots into his music, he often switches between French and Turkish, adding a personal touch to tracks like “Güzelim” and “Bizim Mahalle.” Known for his raw storytelling and atmospheric production, Ozel gained traction with projects like *Le gun ou la rose* (and its 2020 reissue), which showcase his knack for moody, streetwise anthems. He’s part of the CLV crew, a collective that’s helped shape his DIY ethos, and has collaborated with artists like Gazo and La Fève. Whether he’s dropping club-ready bangers (“Toute la night”) or reflective cuts (“S’en aller”), Ozel keeps it authentic, earning him a loyal following in Europe’s ever-evolving rap landscape.
