Mister You, whose real name is Younes Latifi, is a French rapper of Moroccan descent who emerged from the underground hip-hop scene to prominence in the late 2000s. Born on February 5, 1984, in Paris, France, Mister You is particularly known for his raw and authentic storytelling, often drawing inspiration from his experiences in the gritty neighborhoods of Paris. His reputation was solidified by a mix of street credibility and his ability to elude the police, which only added to his allure as he released music detailing his life of crime and eventual incarceration.

After gaining a significant following with his mixtapes and internet releases while on the run, Mister You was arrested in 2009. This only increased his fanbase, who rallied behind him with the slogan "Free Mister You." His incarceration didn’t halt his musical output, and he managed to release more work from behind bars. Upon his release, Mister You capitalized on his growing fame with his debut studio album "Présumé coupable" in 2010. Over the years, he has consistently released music that resonates with his audience, such as the tracks "HLM3," "Reste Trankil," and "BELLEVILLE HALL STAR ZOO." Mister You continues to be a prominent figure in the French rap scene, known for his gritty lyricism and for representing the streets of Paris with authenticity.
