The collective Bon Chance makes a strong entrance with its debut track in collaboration with Freeze Corleone and Sazamyzy. From the YouTube description, the team sets the tone: more prestigious collaborations are on the way, including Bouss, Lacrim, and Ashe 22. The project was also teased during the DVM Show.
After the seismic impact of “LMF”, where Freeze Corleone, a central figure of the 667 collective, found himself at the heart of controversies and media censorship, he followed up with “L’Attaque des Clones” in 2023. This second installment of his “Star Wars” trilogy marks a powerful return, staying true to his uncompromising style. While some lyrics remain controversial (notably a punchline targeting G. Darmanin), the media backlash seems less intense than during the “LMF” era.
The case of Freeze Corleone in France highlights a deep societal divide: on one side, anti-Semitism watchdog organizations actively denounce him; on the other, the public massively supports him, granting him record-breaking certifications in just a few days. This growing rift between different social perspectives seems increasingly irreconcilable.
Sazamyzy, meanwhile, is known for his dark themes and politically charged lyrics. His 2024 album, “Dangereuse Famille”, is a pure drill masterpiece featuring an impressive lineup: Kalash Criminel, Freeze Corleone, Norsacce Berlusconi, Ashe 22, Kaaris, Stavo, ElGrandeToto, and many more. A perfectly assembled roster for such a hard-hitting project.
The collaboration between Freeze Corleone and Sazamyzy was destined to be intense and impactful. The track’s cover, featuring Thomas Sankara and Muammar Kadhafi, immediately signals a bold and politically charged artistic direction.
Freeze Corleone and Sazamyzy set the stage with the debut single from “Bon Chance”!
The musical production is handled by Le Flem and Mohand, two leading figures in the French drill scene. Le Flem, in particular, is a key architect of the genre in France. As a true visionary, he played a crucial role in popularizing the sound that emerged in Chicago with Chief Keef and Lil Durk before spreading to London and New York. His impact on French rap is as significant as Therapy‘s was during the “Or Noir” era.
His track record speaks for itself: he has produced major songs for Freeze Corleone, including “Rap Catéchisme” and “Freeze Raël”. He has also worked with Gazo on “Drill FR 4” and with Central Cee on “Eurovision”. The production of “Le Big & Le Big” features a hypnotic female vocal sample, layered over a sharp and relentless drill beat.
Both rappers deliver sharp punchlines, effortlessly blending egotrip with hard-hitting bars:
“Connu d’l’Alsace jusqu’au Finistère (Les deux), tremblement d’terre jusqu’au ministère (Là-bas)
J’suis en défense comme le gant (Gant), ils peuvent pas m’voir comme le vent (Nan, swish)”
The track is packed with references:
“Ils comprennent pas nos méthodes, le silence est d’argent, la parole est d’or
Marche en famille dangereuse comme des Corses, tellement traîtres que je dors d’un œil comme Magomedov”
And another standout line:
“Discipliné comme des Spartiates (Ahou), j’arrive comme Cole Palmer quand c’est glacial”
The visuals, true to Freeze Corleone’s dark aesthetic, are directed by Pièges Studios, a collective well known for its work with Ashe 22 and Freeze Corleone. They have notably crafted the music videos for “Voldemort” by Freeze Corleone, as well as “Intro VVV”, “KH-22”, and “Caracas” for Ashe 22.
