DAVODKA
With his incisive flow, heavy-hitting punchlines loaded with meaning, and consistently
genuine and authentic albums, Davodka is among the first artists mentioned when
discussing lyricists in French rap. With already six solo projects and a myriad of concerts
across France and Europe, the MC, followed by over 500,000 fans and listeners, has built a
very solid career without ever deviating from his human and artistic values. His razor-sharp
pen is matched only by his flow, recognized as one of the fastest in the world, even
surpassing the performances of Eminem and Bigflo & Oli with an astonishing rate of 8.5
words per second! Old school, new school, that is not the question. The substance and the
form, that is all that is truly indissociable from Davodka’s rap.
Active since the early 2000s, the Parisian rapper first honed his skills alongside the group
Paris Pôle Nord and then with the authentically hip-hop collective Mentalité Sons
Dangereux, comprised not only of rappers and beatmakers but also of graffiti artists. It was
in 2013 that Davodka took flight solo and in full independence with his first album “Un poing
c’est tout,” on which he produced most of the instrumentals himself. Experiencing
resounding critical acclaim, the lyricist continued on his trajectory over the years, eventually
featuring among the best-selling records in France with his album ‘Accusé de Réflexion’ in
2017 . This was followed by the album “À juste titre” in 2019, marked by notable features
with Hayce Lemsi and Dooz Kawa, once again positioning him among the pillars of
independent rap.
His latest project “Procès Verbal,” released in 2021, marked a record-breaking start in his
career. This uncompromising record brings together artists from all generations of hip-hop,
from Daddy Mory to Deadi to Le 3ème Œil and Swift Guad.
Praised for his closeness to his audience, Davodka has never stopped touring concert halls
across France and French-speaking Europe. The artist hailing from the 18th arrondissement
is not short on inspiration and returns this year with a new album eagerly awaited by his
fanbase. This upcoming installment will be supported by a national tour, including a stop at
the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris on December 5, 2024.
