Général Valsero

Général Valsero is a Cameroonian rapper and activist known for his bold, politically charged lyrics and unflinching commentary on social justice. Emerging as a voice against corruption and repression, he blends hip-hop with African rhythms and sharp French-language wordplay to critique authoritarianism and advocate for change. His music often references real events and figures, like in "Assimi Goita" (about Mali’s military leader) or "Justice pour Martinez Zogo" (honoring a murdered Cameroonian journalist). Valsero’s activism has come at a cost—he was imprisoned in 2019 after participating in protests and faced charges widely criticized as politically motivated. Tracks like "La démence" and "Les Loups" continue his legacy of fearless dissent, resonating with fans who see him as a symbol of resistance. Despite risks, he remains a fixture in African hip-hop, using his platform to challenge power structures and amplify marginalized voices.
