In 2018, PLK made a striking entrance with « Polak », released via Panenka Music—a well-established label that also counts Therapy Taxi among its roster. Emerging from the Panama Bende collective, the rapper experienced a meteoric rise: within just a few months, he asserted himself as one of the leading figures in French rap, stacking certifications and accolades.
In 2024, he cemented his status with the mixtape « Chambre 140 », rolled out in three successive installments. The success was undeniable: PLK racked up close to 170,000 sales across all formats. An impressive figure—enough to surpass the album released by Les Enfoirés—a scenario that would have seemed unthinkable for a hip-hop artist only a few years earlier.
Soon after, the rapper followed up with the hard-hitting single « Bleu & Rouge », a clear nod to the colors of PSG, not to be confused with « Rouge et Bleu » by Kalash. Backed by a powerful video whose concept subtly echoes « L’odeur de l’essence » by Orelsan, PLK delivers raw, no-frills rap—free of gimmicks or forced nostalgia. This isn’t old-school rap; it’s the new school, sharp and fully in control.
PLK paints it « Bleu & Rouge »!
The instrumental is produced by Rosaliedu38. Recently, the beatmaker has made his mark on « Rien ne se remplace » by Ziak & Kaaris, as well as « Café Noisette » by Rim’K. Deliberately classic in structure, the production gives the artist behind « Enna » the perfect canvas to unleash a barrage of punchlines—driven by razor-sharp technique and unwavering confidence:
« Le P, le L, aka le Père Noël, Enna Music, Panenka,
Depuis l’départ, on l’fait nous-mêmes (rah) »« J’vois qu’des MC danser, moi, j’suis là, j’leur lance des dollars
Imagine la gueule des touristes, on est tous cagoulés (pah, pah, pah, pah, pah) »
The meticulously crafted visual was directed by OG Kids and produced by HK Corp. It depicts a crew at war, tearing down a studio in spectacular fashion while maintaining a refined visual elegance. OG Kids has previously made waves with a campaign for Louis Vuitton and also directed the latest video from Skillibeng.
