“They were the ones who approached me and they were really open to us doing, well, not just anything, but a little all the same,” FouKi tells us straight away.
« Eux », ce sont Productions Déferlantes et Télé-Québec, qui diffusera l’émission spéciale, ce samedi 2 décembre, à 20 h. La description de celle-ci va comme suit : « Un concept coloré et amusant [dans lequel on rejoint FouKi] in full rehearsal, alongside Guy Jodoin, his new, fictional and flamboyant director, who is full of ideas to propel him towards new horizons and spice up his show.
Through this, I perform with guest artists. guy [Jodoin] comments on my repertoire, “Ah, I like that. I don’t like that.” It is really funny.

The rapper didn’t particularly cherish the dream of doing TV, but he admits to having had “so much fun” on this set. “It’s also fun to offer something other than shows. Not everyone wants to hit the theaters on a Friday night at 10 p.m. It’s good to offer something to everyone. »
With the family
Greg Beaudin, Eman, Avril Jensen, Mindflip, Souldia, Vendou, Le Michel Silencieux (QuietMike), Pops on guitar, Ariane Moffatt and Jay Scøtt will accompany FouKi for this hour of music and humor. With the exception of these last two, all the guests of FouKi all garnished are also on Rap Clubnew album from the 26-year-old rapper.
“We are a big family, keb rap, but also Quebec music in general. There are not millions of us. Everyone knows each other a little. »
“My last album, Zayon [lancé en février], was more of a pandemic creation and it’s not for nothing that it’s the one I produced the most. I have always loved making music in a group. It happened naturally,” FouKi explains of the artists who helped him shape the 11 tracks of Rap Club. Alone Beluga has not been recorded in the last four, five months, he notes.
The MC indicates that the 50 years of hip-hop and the concert of the 20e anniversary of Discs 7th Ciel at the Bell Center, who “was sick,” also contributed to the collaborative spirit of the work. Although it’s a fall release, we hear the festive beats, cool rhymes and peaceful vocals that have become the artist’s signature. There are, however, some moments, such as the pieces Success with Shreez and Rymz then Do this Bin that with Imposs and Joe Rocca, where we feel that everyone wanted to surpass themselves.
It’s certain that when you’re in the studio surrounded by really good rappers, you want to have the best verses. An album like that bounces around all the time and I put all the sauce on each song. […] Competition is healthy.
FouKi

The new album launched and the show toured do not mean that FouKi is on vacation. “There is always music being created,” he mentions, in addition to a project for an animated series. To read soon, therefore.
