Seth Gueko, the bad boy of French hip-hop, gained attention releasing provocative street albums and mixtapes ahead of his 2009 breakthrough studio album La Chevalière. He's a sharp lyricist, known for clever punchlines that combine Romani expressions with vernacular language and pop culture references. Many of his songs have become street anthems, like the electronic dance beats and synths of “Tapis Moquette” and “Shalom, Salam, Salut”, with its techno beat and vocal effects. Gueko can also get more serious, with dark atmospheres and moody beats, as on “Pour les Youves”.
