In just one week, Naps will release his latest album titled “Mec de cité” (City Guy). In his own words from a recent interview, he described himself as a “normal city guy”. Despite achieving diamond, gold, and platinum successes, this Marseille-born rapper has remained true to his original style, which began with “Pochon bleu” (Blue Pouch), thus maintaining the authenticity reminiscent of a well-known Marseille star. Naps now unveils “Cœur de Ice” (Heart of Ice), a collaboration with the prince of “Drill FR”, Gazo.
Naps and Gazo share a “Cœur de Ice”!
The soundtrack of the track is crafted by Seezy and Claro Beats. Known for his versatility, Seezy, a regular collaborator with Vald, also produced “Hors Ligne” (Offline) for Freeze Corleone. Claro Beats, on the other hand, has worked with Kaza on “HRTBRK #3” and “HRTBRK #5”. Infused with the spirit of Marseille, this track stands out with its ideal summer vibe. Gazo, known for venturing beyond traditional drill music, as he did with Tiakola, fits perfectly into this production deeply rooted in Marseille.
The song captures the vibrant summer nights of Naps and Gazo:
"I'll forget her name tomorrow (I'll forget her name tomorrow) Her words, her arms (Her words, her arms) A night with no tomorrow, send your Snap', I'll take the liberty"
Once again imbued with a real summer ambiance, the music video was directed by Neetch. Filmed by the seaside, the two artists savor the good weather and the season of excesses. Neetch has notably collaborated with Gazo and Tiakola on the visuals for “300K” and “Cartier”.
