Born on September 9, 1997, in Seine-et-Marne and of Nigerian descent, DVSN is gradually making his name as an emerging figure in French rap. Growing up torn between two passions—football and music—his dream of becoming a professional footballer didn’t come to fruition, leading him to fully embrace music instead. “I’ve always wanted to live off my passions, football or music. Since football didn’t work out, I’m focusing on music now,” he explains, a decision that marked the beginning of a promising musical journey.
In 2024, DVSN signed with Rubson Records, a label that is providing him with the tools and resources to fully express his artistic vision. “I’ve been working harder lately. Plus, Rubson Records is giving me the opportunity and means to make this happen, guiding me along the way,” says the artist, reflecting on his growth and development. This support is clearly paying off as DVSN continues to carve out his space in the French rap scene.
Drawing Inspiration from Rap Legends
DVSN’s musical influences are wide-ranging, but he frequently cites iconic French rappers such as <strong>La Fouine</strong> and <strong>Booba</strong> as key inspirations. These figures have shaped his musical identity and continue to inspire his own growth as an artist. Today, DVSN is focused on asserting himself as a unique voice in contemporary rap, blending influences with his own experiences.
“Toxic”: A Deep Dive into Relationships
After exploring themes of love in several previous tracks, DVSN continues this exploration with his latest single, “Toxic.” Much like Kaza’s track of the same name, the song delves into the complexities and pain of troubled relationships. With a cloud-like beat, DVSN reflects on the emotional traps that both men and women often fall into, offering a raw and realistic take on love’s darker side.
The “Toxic” music video further brings this narrative to life, providing a visual representation of the tension and emotional pitfalls of toxic relationships. The clip is striking and explicit, capturing the emotional imprisonment that often accompanies these destructive partnerships, while also highlighting the paradox of attraction and pain.
Is DVSN Creating a Larger Love-Themed Project?
With “Toxic,” the question arises as to whether DVSN is building a larger project centered on the theme of love. The artist, who has already explored love from different angles, seems to be deepening his focus on this subject in his upcoming work. It’s possible that a full album or broader project is taking shape, one that delves into the complexities of human relationships, from attachment to emotional suffering.
With “Toxic,” DVSN continues to reveal new aspects of his personality and artistic vision. He is moving away from rap’s typical clichés, instead offering a nuanced and modern perspective on often-taboo or misunderstood topics. It’s clear that DVSN is an artist to watch in the coming months, as his sincere approach and fresh sound are sure to attract an ever-growing audience.
