Oster has firmly established himself as a key figure in today’s scene, both as an artist and a composer, hailing from Liège, Belgium. A regular guest of Fred Musa on Skyrock, he consistently showcases his projects while maintaining a steady upward momentum. In March 2026, he delivered a standout appearance to present 4000 degrés 2, further confirming his rapid rise. A complete artist, equally skilled in production and performance, the one many refer to as “Vibe dealer” embodies a sharp, contemporary vision of urban music.
During the show, the Liège-born artist also delivered a striking performance of his track Petit Frère. Keen listeners will immediately recognize it as a bold reinterpretation of the classic by IAM, taken from the album L’École du micro d’argent. Far from being a simple tribute or remix, Oster offers a true narrative continuation, recontextualizing the message in a time where part of today’s youth—marginalized by traditional structures—still faces the same struggles and dead ends.
The track opens with a sample from the original IAM record, carried by Shurik’n and Akhénaton, instantly recognizable. The production has been carefully reworked, preserving some of its iconic sonic elements while embracing a modern aesthetic. This new version, entirely composed by Oster, reflects a highly controlled and thoughtful reinterpretation. More than three decades after the original release, the observation remains striking: the realities portrayed have barely changed.
Nothing’s changed, little brother still wants respect / Don’t wake up his demons / After the “fétou,” his mind’s no longer clear / He’s lost his way back home
With this project, the Belgian artist once again showcases the full scope of his creativity, delivering a cohesive, refined body of work that feels both relevant and deeply rooted in its time.
