Yardland Festival: Jacu’cheese, bumper cars… But what is this Nazaland by rapper Naza?

“Wow, it’s crazy!” exclaims Naza, having barely arrived in front of the amusement park set up for the Yardland rap festival, which takes place Saturday and Sunday at the Vincennes racecourse, with Rema, Gradur and Kaaris on the program. The site looks great this Friday afternoon, on the eve of the two days of music that are coming up. In the distance, soundchecks are being held on the different stages. The funfair, designed by Naza and his team, stands out. As soon as they arrive at the festival grounds, the inflatable arch imposes itself. On it is written in pink letters “Nazaland”, the name of the rapper’s latest album.

“It’s great, I hope everyone has a good time,” he laughs. The teams are busy finishing the last preparations but the artist is already delighted with the result. He who thinks he “came into the world to make people laugh” immediately liked the festival organizers’ proposal. All smiles, he is proud to have had the idea of ​​the bumper cars. “Tomorrow, I’m doing some, for sure!” he exclaims, while his gold tooth shines in the sun.

A real amusement park soon?

“It’s a nod to Big Baby (released in 2020) », he laughs, pointing to the hot air balloon with his head printed on it and picking up the cover of his album. “I’m really happy with how it turned out, I want something even bigger now,” he says, hinting that an amusement park with his face on it would appeal to him. Nothing is ever big enough when it comes to ego-boosting.
