New identity for Bigflo. The rapper, who forms the duo Bigflo and Oli with his brother, went solo this Friday with a first single, Koopaand a new stage name, Bunshiin.
On Instagram, Bigflo explains that this choice to create this “alter-ego” (Bunshiin’s translation in Japanese) stems from the artist’s desire to “let off steam” musically without having to release these creations under the Bigflo and Oli label.
“I often let off steam by making sounds that are too strange for Bigflo and Oli, so I post them under this name. I don’t have a marketing strategy. No particular ambition except to make me love it,” he specifies on his Instagram account.
But bigflo and Oli fans rest assured, this fresh start doesn’t mean the two brothers are ending their common career. On Instagram, Bigflo also assures that Oli supports him in this project: “Thanks to Oli for understanding his older brother, chtarbé,” he writes in the story.

Last November, Bigflo had already presented to his community on Instagram his desire to produce music under another artist name. “Made weird sounds in rec mode where I would loosen up. Kind of trap/hyper-pop under another fire, just because of the kiff,” he wrote at the time.
This story is reminiscent of the rumor surrounding the character of The Voice, an artist whose identity has never been revealed and who has released four titles on YouTube. If several theories pointed out that it was actually Bigflo, the latter has always wanted to keep the mystery around this issue.
“If I say it’s not me, people tell me: ‘Hmmm’. And when I say it’s me, people tell me: ‘Oh, is it you?'”, he had confided during an interview on this subject for the media . Interlude.
And to conclude: “So, whatever you answer, the result will be the same. I can’t tell you.”
