Mayo is a rapper from Stains, in the 93rd district of France, whose career continues to rise. He first gained attention with hard-hitting tracks like “Allez Ouste” and “Marabout”, before turning heads as part of the collective project 93 Empire, led by Sofiane.
In 2024, Mayo reached a new milestone with the release of Dans le bon (Vol. 1), a sharp, confident project featuring strong collaborations with Leto and Koba LaD. Through this release, he affirms his artistic identity with his signature sound “Yozo Gang Music”: a polished blend of Congolese rhythms and melodic rap that showcases the full depth of his musical world.
And Mayo doesn’t stop there. He returns with “Business”, a powerful new single in collaboration with Chily, packed with raw energy.
Mayo and Chily are all about that “business”!
The track’s production is handled by the duo Daddy Jo & Sage. Daddy Jo, who recently earned a gold record for Arrêtez le Vol. 2 by 1Pliké140, continues to build momentum, with recent work alongside big names like Tiakola and Theodora. On “Business”, the afrobeat-inspired instrumental perfectly frames the dynamic verses delivered by the two rappers, injecting the track with a fire that’s tailor-made for the streets and the dance floor.
Expect catchy hooks, festive vibes, and a masterful fusion of African grooves and Western rap influences. The music video, shot in a raw, industrial garage setting, captures that explosive energy on screen. Directed by the Les Sauces crew—known for their flair for visual contrast—the video adds a gritty, cinematic edge. The production house previously made waves with clips like La vie continue by 44Raid & Wheeps, and On recommence by Tizzy Miller.
