A dark and enraged sound straight from Oloron (Gascony, S-W France). Just for the thrill of rapping.
Rap in gascon, because the lyrics come to my mind in this language. I prefer speaking about what's around us in the world rather than those mainstream stupidities they play on national radios...
Musically speaking, it's mainly boombap, but there's some trap and drill too, our way though... I like trying diferent styles, and the most important is having fun.
Kbek would never be born without the support from Zifsi, an extremely productive artist who started rapping while he was still in his cradle.
Many musics are composed by my childhood friend from Oloron, Arnaud Belio.
Everything is homemade, with families and friends : no label, no public subsidies, no sponsors... We aren't the industry's cow nor calves suckling public collectivities when they should already be busy enough taking care of schools and hospitals.
You can listen to a 30 minutes interview + concert on the Gascon radio Ràdio País (in Gascon language) and read an interview from the online newspapers jornalet.com (also in Gascon).
Did you miss Kbek's last show? No worries, you can watch a few extracts from Oloron's hiphop festival Urban'ival 4 (October 2022), with Bobi from B3X Prod as DJ!
