NeS

NeS turns his passion for rap into a discipline, a way to overcome his doubts and create cathartic, sincere and demanding music.

Originally from Val-de-Marne, he established himself at a very young age as one of the most notable rising talents of his generation, thanks to a distinctive approach marked by raw authenticity, sharp technique inherited from freestyle and a pronounced taste for sonic exploration. It all begins with writing, followed by a strong, creative circle that encourages him to turn his emotions into rhymes. At just 17, he released his first mixtape, N.E.S Vol 1, led by the track Compresses, which revealed a rapper able to combine influences from 1990s rap with contemporary styles.

After "Cosmic", a real turning point in his artistic development, NeS picked up the pace with LA COURSE in 2022, the breakthrough project he performed on sold-out tours across France. This momentum continued with "ça va aller" and then "Pour 2 vrai", where he developed a more introspective style of writing without ever giving up performance or formal precision. Moving between controlled braggadocio and personal confidences, NeS tells of his family and friendships, his roots and his desire to go elsewhere, while refining a clearer, more embodied musical identity.

Supported by a strong artistic circle (Yvnnis, Luther, Mairo, Zeu, Deemax…) and carefully chosen collaborations, he continues along a path marked by the search for balance, giving words and emotion plenty of space: that of an artist in full maturation, determined to make heartfelt music and remain true to himself.
