Jey Brownie delivers a powerful and inspired Ghetto Gospel
The track’s production is handled by Puch’K and YNA. The former has built a name through his work with L2B, the rising collective from Champigny-sur-Marne behind tracks like Pélican and Tout pour l’équipe. The latter, a regular collaborator in Jey Brownie’s universe, has produced key records such as No Man No Crime and Le Pari. Together, they deliver an ethereal, spiritual production, lifted by choirs that amplify the weight of the rapper’s punchlines. It’s an approach that echoes an American tradition: from Kendrick Lamar to Chance the Rapper, many have explored the intersection of rap and gospel — with Chance even dedicating an entire album to it through No Color.
True to form, Jey Brownie showcases relentless creativity. He fires off sharp punchlines, strengthened by the depth of gospel choirs, giving the track an almost liturgical dimension. The video, directed by Nino Rec, unfolds like a true urban opera: a black-and-white fresco that recalls a modern musical, somewhere between West Side Story and contemporary street culture. The director, already known for striking visuals, draws inspiration from the world of Alright. He also helmed the short film-style video for the collaboration between Bekar and Gradur on the track Laponie.
