And it earned him a beautiful punchline in his album.
It may be his year. After years at charbonner, Usky Finally sees the planets align. HAS 31 ansthe rapper of 12th arrondissement of Paris took his time, confronted the doubts, bordered on abandonment … before living what we can call a turning point. Because yes, after having almost stopped everything, it is the call of Booba – son mentor – Who has changed everything.
Today signed at 92iUsky has just released her new album “Noura”a project acclaimed for the consistency and its artistic depth. Criticism and the public are unanimous: “Noura” is undoubtedly One of the albums of the momenta commercial and artistic success that confirms all talent Bonhomme. Booba was not mistaken. He saw in Usky what many had neglected for too long.
But behind this ascent, an amazing detail has long stayed under radars: Usky’s story would have inspired the French series Valid. More specifically, the APASH character (interpreted by Hat) would resume several elements of the Usky start of career. A particular scene echoes his life: the one where Apash lets go legendary freestyle on the radiotriggering a series of events that propel him towards light. However, this scene is almost a consistent copy of what Usky experienced in its early years.
And that’s not all: Usky could even have played in the series in place of Hatik. He had been approached, approached … before he retract. For what ? BecausePart of his personal history was mentioned without his consent. In an interview given to France Interthe rapper is explained:
“It was a little special when it was out, they didn’t say it, it was mentioned nowhere, then Fred Musa made a book where he explained it, after that was relayed by articles, blogs.”
A revelation that lights up a new day behind the scenes of the series. If Hat marked the spirits, Usky was therefore there, in the shadowsdéjà inspiring. And Today it is finally in lightto his placewith a strong album, a faithful audience, and respect for his peers.
With “Noura”, Le 92i and this story that reappears, Usky Proves that atypical courses are sometimes the most powerful. And that French rap has not finished being inspired by its real legends.
