And yes, time flies! It’s not Bigflo and Oli, active in rap since 2005 when they are only 29 and 26, who will say the opposite. In any case, this is what they observed on the set of C to you, this Monday, June 20. It all started with a video introduced by Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine, dated May 22, 2012, in which we see the duo performing in front of their high school friends in the playground. Bigflo passed the baccalaureate that year, while his little brother was in second.
After their musical show, the duo appears in a second time in an interview. And what is hard to dispute is that the two brothers have changed a lot! In the images, no beard and the youthful look that characterizes all teenagers. What to blow the main interested parties: “The images have been there for ten years, do you realize? We’re getting old here“, reacted Bigflo, from his first name Florian, on reading this extract. “We were seen without the beard at the very beginning”, noted Oli, who is called Olivio, on his side.
The latter took the opportunity to tell an anecdote, namely that it is also on the set of C to you it all started for them. “When I watch the show, I remember our first TV shows with you (…) we met Jean Dujardin thanks to you, with whom we did a track afterwards… There’s a great story here!“, he said, recalling his memories. “Sacred start“, said his brother to himself when he saw himself doing this freestyle at school alongside his brother. “You passed the baccalaureate!“, mentioned the host, to emphasize the fact that time has passed quickly, since they already have many years of experience ahead of them, when they have not even passed their thirties.
A meteoric rise
“Ten years later we are D-5 from the release of your fourth album“, she continued. The others are us, which will be released this Friday, June 24, will be the duo’s seventh project, which now has nothing to prove. As a reminder, the people of Toulouse have already won several distinctions and trophies including the title of Best French-speaking duo/group of the year 2018 at the NRJ Music Awards and the clip of the year for Tomorrow. A meteoric rise for the duo. Things happened so quickly for them that Bigflo revealed in 2018 that he had “wanted to fuck himself up”. To take a step back, they decided in 2020 to take a short break, before starting again.
Since their very beginning, they have been inseparable… Or almost! Since recently, Oli left his brother to go to Madagascar, where he shot an episode of the show Meeting in unknown landpresented by Raphaël de Casabianca and broadcast on France 2. But since his return, they have merged again as they always have, and are now ready to promote the release of their latest album, which should not go unnoticed.
