Bigflo and Oli want to launch a competition to support young Toulouse artists

The Bigflo & Oli rapper musical contest will be launched in the coming months. Reserved for young Toulouse artists, this “springboard” is a project confirmed at a press conference by the rappers on Tuesday, April 12. “We been on it for years, we want to do it […] We’re supposed to finally have our springboard in a few months“, said Florian Ordonez, known by the stage name Bigflo in the duo of rapper brothers from the Pink City.

A check for the winners

If the terms of participation in the competition still seem unclear, the two artists assured that the winners would be invited to play during their festival, the Rose festival, scheduled for September 1 to 3 for its second edition. They should also win a check, the amount of which has not been specified. “I wanted there to be a gain of money because I know that when you start, you struggle. The first springboard we won was a check for 1,000 euros on the invoice and thanks to that, we were poor but we were able to afford a computer“, explained Bigflo.

The competition will be reserved for artists “of Toulouse and its surroundings“, added Oli, Olivio Ordonez of his real name, which promises”a beautiful jury“with friends of both rappers”who are known“. The rapper brothers wanted to launch this competition already last year, but they postponed it to focus on organizing their festival. “This year, if all goes well, there will be the springboard. But it won’t change people’s lives: it’s a small bonus, people shouldn’t expect Bigflo and Oli to give them a hand and make them pierce through some magic“, warned Bigflo.

And we can say that the technical bar is set high after the breathtaking ten-minute long freestyle delivered live a few weeks ago by Oli on Planet Rap.
