Just one year after Arlequin, Filest returns this Friday, April 25, 2025, with Colombes, his eighth album in just three years — and it’s a major milestone in the Parisian rapper’s remarkable journey.
With Colombes, Filest takes his craft to the next level. His writing, already praised for its precision and intensity, now shows even greater maturity. Backed by an all-star team of producers — DJ Elite, Platinumwav, Johnny OLA, and Sobek — he delivers a dense, cohesive album that firmly plants his flag in the French rap scene.
Filest is not your typical artist. He only started rapping at 30, after a career in photography and stage production, but quickly carved out a space for himself through relentless creativity and an unmatched work ethic. Eight projects in just three years — each pushing his artistry in new directions — prove he’s always evolving, never standing still.
Today, his style is unmistakable: raw, honest, and fiercely independent. Though Filest remains a master of punchy, technical raps, Colombes reveals a deeper side to his artistry — sharp lyrics, introspective moments, and a sound that acknowledges modern trends without ever becoming formulaic.
Colombes isn’t just another album — it’s the culmination of a journey. It’s the sound of an artist who has found his voice and isn’t afraid to use it. More than a release, it’s a statement: Filest is here to stay, and he’s doing things his way.
