The new project from Benjamin Epps, L’Enfant sacré de Bellevue, has just been released. In this opus, rich in sounds and variety, the rapper skillfully navigates between introspection and sharp, impactful verses. Staying true to the essence of French rap, he asserts himself with finely crafted lyrics and a production style that often flirts with an old-school aesthetic.
With Rose des vents, his latest music video, Benjamin Epps surprises his audience by exploring a more sentimental register. Known primarily for his incisive flow and razor-sharp lyrics, he ventures here into the realm of love.
Benjamin Epps picks the Rose des vents!
The track’s production is handled by Danny III, who also worked on Belle Rage, a track from Ready For War. The beat, both minimalistic and effective, provides a solid foundation for the rapper’s inspired punchlines as he takes on a theme that is less familiar to him.
“I want to start a family, so if we fall asleep as two, we wake up as three… if you know what I mean.”
On the visual side, the clip is directed by Mr Qtime & Alan DOP. Mr Qtime, a London-based artistic director, spontaneously filmed Benjamin Epps three weeks ago in the streets of London. The video, skillfully alternating between different image formats, offers a polished aesthetic where the artist appears alongside his vixen, moving between intimate moments at home and strolls in the park.
