Laylow is one of the most innovative figures of the French musical landscape. Mixing ego-trip and sentimentality, the Toulousan has managed to create a universe of his own, full of science fiction and cinematographic references. Last July, he published L’Etrange Histoire de Mr Anderson, a futuristic rap epic written like a screenplay and accompanied by a short film. The album was one of the best commercial launches in France (gold record in 3 weeks). Earlier this year, Laylow filled two concerts at Bercy by himself. For the occasion, he invited his friends Nekfeu and Damso to join him on stage. You will have understood by now: Laylow is already a true heavyweight of French rap.
