Three years after the release of his album Neptune terminal, Youssoupha returns with a new single, Zequin theory. For his return, the main artist and lyricist of French rap has opted for an original strategy.
In fact, he chose to step aside and make way for rapper Zequin, in the clip that accompanies the song. Therefore, it is this young talent from the rap scene who sings and plays the song on playback. A way for Youssoupha to highlight the new generation, but also to pay tribute to Zequin.
The latter had quoted the interpreter of my king as an example in an interview with the media Pépite and these statements were also added in the introduction and at the end of Zequin theory.
“I want to quote a phrase from Youssouph that says: ‘The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.’ (…) When you hate someone “it means that, in a certain way, there is true love,” he confided. Zequin in this interview.
Tour planned for 2025
Youssoupha’s latest album, Neptune Terminalwas released in 2021. On this album, the rapper was notably surrounded by artists Gaël Faye, Dinos and Josman. He also participated, the same year, in the album The Organized Classicstarted by Jul, which brought together more than 150 rappers from Bouches-du-Rhône and the Paris region.
Very discreet since then, Youssoupha returns this year with a tour of France and Switzerland.
