Marseille: discovering the city's legendary rap venues
The City of Marseille has been pulsating to the beat of Hip-Hop culture for the last 30 years, forged by four generations of rappers with names that have rise to cult status. Let’s take a tour of the city venues that inspired and continue to inspire them.
Marseille and Rap
A long love story
The City of Marseille, aka “m.a.r.s” or “planet Mars”, is an icon of Hip-Hop culture… It all started in the Eighties, when the city rapidly forged its reputation as a leading epicentre of French rap and the birthplace of such famous names as IAM and Fonky Family. Four generations of Marseille rappers have continued to keep the torch burning ever since. Today’s heirs to the throne include, of course, JUL – a prolific artist and the biggest record seller in the history of French rap – as well as Soso Maness and SCH. In parallel, “old school” bands have never been so popular, with an impressive 7,000 tickets for the Fonky Family reunion in summer 2024 at the Jar Building on its success, IAM has produced a number of local groups such as Psy4de la rime (Alonzo, Soprano…) to promote and share the city’s hip-hop identity. Since 2010, new artists who are very much in tune with the times have been contributing to Marseille’s rap reputation: Don't want to see ads?

Marseille and Hip Hop
A constantly evolving scene
Soprano, one of the leaders of the group Psy4 de le rime, is renowned for his unique style, combining hip-hop, pop and urban music influences, and for his lyrics that tackle themes such as resilience, hope and diversity. Jul, a child of the St Jean-du-Désert neighbourhood, is perhaps the best album seller in the history of French rap, with 3.5 million albums sold (ahead of MC Solaar). And numerous gold, diamond and platinum discs. In fact, he has named his label ‘D’or et de platine'(Of gold and platinum)! And that’s just the beginning.
Alonzo, Soprano’s cousin and partner from his Psy4 days, has been pursuing a solo career since 2009, and went gold in 2016. And so many other artists, SCH, Soso Maness etc •
