Younès Boucif or simply Younès is an artist with a plural identity, remarkable identity. This is also the title of his very first opus of 15 titles. An autobiographical and intimate rap album on which he has worked for the past two years and which he has matured for a long time. Younès talks about his life and his origins. In one of the titles titled flag arab Younès talks about his childhood, the story of this son of an Algerian who is struggling to find his place in Mont-Saint-Aignan, a rather well-to-do neighborhood near Rouen.

“I grew up in Mont-Saint-Aignan, where performances await you elsewhere. As a young, Arab, in jogging we see you elsewhere.”

Younes Boucif's first album

But Younès is not at his first attempt. After his first EP, Yoon on the Moon released in 2014, this lover of words lulled by the music of Brassens and Oum Kalthoum is developing his musical career with his mixtape Even the leaves. After his meeting with Médine, another Norman rapper whom he has admired since childhood, he released the clip for Here are the problems in 2020.

Younès is not just a rapper. He also graduated in law from the Sorbonne, and has always been passionate about theatre. Acting is a dream he has always pursued and materialized when he is cast for Funny. Created by Fanny Herrero, the screenwriter of Dix Pour Cent, the series was broadcast on Netflix in March 2022. Younès plays the endearing Nezir, forced to combine his passion for the scene with a delivery job while waiting to break into the very competitive environment of the Parisian stand-up. A role that offered the Norman rapper great visibility with the general public.

On October 12, 2022, he will be in concert at La Cigale as part of the MaMa festival. October 23 in Le Havre for the Ouest Park festival. On October 19 in the first part of Médine at the Casino de Paris.
