Originally, XV Barbar and PSO Thug, two iconic groups from the northern suburbs of Paris, frequently shared the stage and were often associated with one another. After several years, Leto, now signed to REC 118, has seen his career take a major leap, establishing himself as a leading figure in French rap. Today, XV Barbar, represented by Cheu-B, and PSO Thug, embodied by Leto, reunite for a long-awaited collaboration. Cheu-B, in the midst of a remarkable artistic comeback, unveils the single “Anaconda”, a nod to the famous track by Nicki Minaj, featuring Leto.
Cheu-B and Leto present “Anaconda”!
The instrumental composition of this powerful track is crafted by SKB, a talented beatmaker from Belarus. He is known for his collaborations with several artists in his home country, including Thrill Pill. The production, both masterful and explosive, perfectly highlights the chemistry between Leto, with his Atlanta-inspired trap style, and Cheu-B, who bring raw and captivating energy to this vibrant instrumental. From the very first notes, the track establishes itself as a standout piece.
“She mistook my belt for my anaconda (anaconda)
She talked too much, so I brought out my anaconda (anaconda)
The stash is set, I aim my anaconda (anaconda)
Gun in hand, still my anaconda”
The music video, as energetic as it is visually striking, was directed by Jokam, a filmmaker renowned for his work with Parisian artists such as Jok’Air. Shot last March under the Californian sun, it adds a unique aesthetic to the project, amplifying the impact of this track.
