La Rumeur, a fiercely independent French-language rap group from Elancourt, brought their unapologetic and underground sound to the stage. Comprising rappers Ekoue, Hame., Mourad., Philippe., and DJs Kool M and Soul G, the group stood out for their refusal to conform their lyrics for mainstream media. They relied on concerts and word-of-mouth for promotion, maintaining a subversive edge. Their close ties with groups like Anfalsh and collaborations with politically-charged artists like Assassin and Casey showcased their commitment to authentic, politically-engaged hip-hop. This performance highlighted their unique approach to rap and their significant place in the French music scene.
