• The association Mind Family specialized in the promotion of local artists has launched its new project "Sphere".
  • In an unlikely and atypical place, rappers launch into a freestyle of about thirty minutes to make Internet users discover their music.
  • Concerts are also offered to discover these young artists.

"A nugget this project", "a crazy", "the strike", etc. These are the many comments of Internet users after the publication of the first video "Sphere", a project of Mind Family, a Toulouse association that made young rappers perform on the roofs of the Pink City. Around a round table, five knights of the new French scene pass on the grail of improvisation on a catchy beat.

"We wanted to open our association to rap and hip-hop and launch local artists. We thought Toulouse lacked a little rap," explains Clément Benac, the founder of the association who blows out his first candle. While waiting for Big Flo and Oli, the Toulousain then brings together five rappers for a twenty-five minute freestyle with a breathtaking view of the city. And neither Jester, Jethro, Lukbtclan, Gocha and Jayakim were dizzy for this first episode very well received by the public.

"Moving rap where we're not used to hearing it"

"People were very happy and found the content quite clean with a very good freestyle. The artists were able to perform a thirty-minute musical performance in a free format mixing multisyllabic rhymes, verses, and improvisation. This experience is for them the opportunity to give a fresh air and a new form of visibility to Toulouse rap. We had a lot of feedback, especially from artists interested in the second episode. This project is not only open to Toulouse artists but everywhere in France," says Clément Benac.

For the second stage, Clément Bénac and his association are still open to everything: a forest, an empty swimming pool, in a historic place, etc. "The important thing is to make the performance unique. To do something original and move rap where you're not used to seeing and hearing it. In Toulouse or elsewhere, we want to open up to everything, "adds the one who organizes events to also promote jazz, techno or rock artists.

If they reserve a few more months for episode 2, in the meantime, rap lovers will be able to discover IRL the five artists on the stage of the Connexion live on May 31, for an exclusive concert.
