Jolagreen23, from the diminutive of his first name Jorghen, associated with the good luck color green and his lucky number - the number of his date of birth (March 23) and the “main character in basketball, the one who holds the team in good stead” - is a fan of numerology and basketball. A sport that he often cites in his songs, multiplying the references combined with those of pop culture. From his years spent wearing his sneakers on playgrounds and hardwood floors, Jolagreen23 has kept the style and attitude. When he raps, it’s spectacularly fluid. His phrasing bounces off the drill rhythms, like when orange leather caresses the asphalt. His lyrics hit the hi-hats, like a shot that pierces the net. His powerful voice crashes on the kicks, like a violent poster-dunk. At first glance, the world Jolagreen23 portrays might seem brutal, but it is far more complex than it appears. Rich in nuances, imagery, and references, the dark and authentic narratives of the Parisian rapper always stem from a spontaneous
impulse. Do no miss this unique concert in Brussels!
