The Sound of Rap Congolais

"The Sound of Rap Congolais" brings together a wide-ranging selection of tracks that showcase the depth and diversity of French-speaking Central African hip-hop, with a focus on Congolese artists repping their local sounds and global influences. You’ll hear the melodic edge of collaborations like Diesel Gucci and Innoss'B on “Bisous Bye,” the sharp lyricism of MPR on “Bana Leo Bana Lelo,” and the confident flows of artists like Blemix & KB Le Roi on “Délinquant.” From hard-hitting street anthems to smoother Afrobeats-infused cuts, the playlist shifts between styles while maintaining its roots in the rhythms and realities of the Congo.

Featuring artists from Kinshasa to Brazzaville and beyond—like Sam Samouraï, Tidiane Mario, Gaz Mawete, and Suintement—this playlist reflects the new wave of Rap Congolais, blending streetwise bars with local languages, cultural references, and genre-crossing production. Whether it’s the bounce of “Planer” by Nix Ozay & Djam Kiss or the introspective tone of BOB ELVIS on “Lettre à Ya Tshitshi,” it's a snapshot of a rap scene that’s steadily building its own lane.
