Valentin le Du, alias Vald, gave us an appointment in Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine), in a former printing house converted into the recording studios and HQ of the Hip-Hop Hall Access label, with its walls covered with gold, platinum, diamond discs. Question heavy goods vehicles, the rapper is not to be outdone with four opus and 1.3 million albums sold in eight years, 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 3 million fans on social networks.
Three years after “V”, his fifth collection, the dark and intimate “pandemonium” is released this Friday and should mark the year of a strong imprint. Its seventeen titles are of an intensity and a density which decide in a period when French rap tends to arise. The more he advances, the more the 32 -year -old troublemaker falls his dark glasses to reveal himself … and interest us.
