Rapper from Schaarbeek claims his place on the French Rap world map with 1st album Euphoria
Krisy is a rapper with sincere rhymes, a performer with a suave voice and a multi-disciplinary autodidact. So he’s a beatmaker, sound engineer, producer, director and artistic director but, above all, he is a creative who is led by love.
Before he became the rapper we now know, he worked as a producer for artists like Damso and Hamza and as a sound engineer for the likes of Lous and the Yakuza, Shay, and Disiz. So he had a good grasp of what’s needed to be successful.
Building on his experiences, Krisy released a number of singles and was noticed by Colors Studios. His first Colors session Julio & Sa Gogo Danseuse (from 2017) has already been viewed more than 7 million times. His fluid flow and lyrics that combine humour with a touch of sensuality really caught on. This was followed by a series of singles and a debut EP, Paradis d'amour, in 2021.
Krisy is not the type to get carried away by elation or allow himself to be pushed to rush things, as he’s been teasing us with the arrival of his first album Euphoria since 2017. It was worth the wait though, as the 22 track album covers a range of feelings and follows the story of a rapper whose dreams of stardom plunge him into a nightmare. The album is accompanied by a comic strip illustrated by Hobooth. Each page corresponds to a track on the album.
Now the Brusselian of Congolese origin comes to AB to present his new album. "Garde les pieds sur Terre" advises Krisy on the first track of Euphoria, but I’m sure that we’ll be flying that night.
