Moving to the 14th arrondissement of Paris at the age of 10, Alpha Wann quickly immersed in hip-hop culture. Today, he’s a lynchpin of the French capital’s rap scene. Rising to prominence with both the group 1995 and the collective L’entourage, Wann launched a solo career in earnest with the Alph Lauren mixtape series and the powerful 2018 album UNE MAIN LAVE L’AUTRE. Among the record’s confrontational and socially conscious tracks are the searing “LANGAGE CRYPTÉ” and the street storytelling of “STUPÉFIANT ET NOIR”, both of which mark Wann as one of France’s most vital rap voices.
