In June 2023, Nahir made waves with the release of “Intégral #2”, a project loaded with high-profile features from Vacra, B.B. Jacques, Dinos, Zkr, and ElGrandeToto. Now, the rapper continues his momentum with a hard-hitting new single, “Effet Papillon”. While Youssoupha also made his mark in French rap with a track of the same name from the album “Sur les chemins du retour”, the similarities end there. With a rich trap foundation, Nahir brings his unique style, immersing listeners in his captivating world.
Nahir: It’s the “Effet Papillon”!
The musical production of “Effet Papillon” is crafted by the talented duo Wild MT and Saudee. Wild MT, an Algerian beatmaker, has made his mark collaborating with Werenoi on tracks like “Intro Morphée” and “Figaro”, and with Niaks on “Dame Blanche”. Meanwhile, Saudee is behind the production of “Charras” by Beendo Z. Together, they create an intense yet calm trap vibe with a moderate BPM, allowing Nahir to set an immersive and powerful atmosphere.
With straightforward, no-nonsense lyrics, Nahir shares his street perspective with authenticity: “J’Netflix pas, j’ai pas l’temps d’chiller, c’est pas moi, c’est la hess qui m’fait dealer / J’apparais, j’disparais comme Houdini (Oui), présent que quand c’est l’heure du dîner.”
The captivating visual features Nahir amidst a layered camera sequence, including surveillance footage. This creative approach was directed by Bien Vu Production, a studio known for its innovative concepts. They also directed videos like “Fais ça bien“ by Hiro and “Garde à Vue” by Beendo Z.
