“I never understood the concept of a foster home. I thought that if I acted out, they’d just send me back home.”
At the very start of his career, right after unveiling DRILL FR — a foundational moment — he admitted in an interview with Booska Colombien that he had even considered quitting rap. That wasn’t so long ago, but since then, the tide has turned.
Today, the artist makes a comeback with JOB, a track that’s 100% drill. Between DRILL FR and KMF, Gazo stuck strictly to drill and Jersey club tracks without straying. Now, he allows himself to explore wider horizons, like in his joint album with Tiakola, where he even ventured into singing. But with JOB, we find a raw, instinctive Gazo, reminiscent of his early days. Tracks like this explain why he has become the face of the drill movement in France.
Gazo, this is his JOB!
The production was crafted by a team of four beatmakers: Lucozi, Rayane Beats, Diaxal, and Boya Blunt. Lucozi, a frequent collaborator of Hamza, recently stood out with work on KYKY2BONDY, and has also produced for SCH. Rayane Beats is part of Freeze Corleone’s creative circle, with numerous collaborations under his belt. Meanwhile, Diaxal, a beatmaker from Belleville, made a name for himself by producing Coffrer for Ninho and Unstoppable for Kozi. The beat on JOB delivers pure drill energy: light on melody, heavy on rhythm and impact.
Gazo drops a line that went viral, widely shared across social media:
“I’m back to smash these drums, make them forget all that we’ve done
You dream of seeing me in the hospital, so why you running like La F?”
The track is fierce, brimming with energy, echoing the raw spirit of his early DRILL FR freestyles. The video, directed by SADMOON, stays true to drill’s visual codes by depicting Gazo’s street environment — but with far higher production value than in his early days. Almost too polished, the visuals reflect the fact that things have changed. SADMOON had already worked with Gazo on the video for Kat, where the artist appeared alongside Rvfleuze.
