An exceptional journey filled with punchlines that Monsieur le Professeur has made his specialty, Seth Gueko is a pillar of French rap. After a joint project with his son and “Mange tes morts” released in 2022, the Barlou took a short musical break to focus on his entrepreneurial life. He returns with a new single, “Le Marginal”, accompanied by a music video: a simple yet slightly political pill, a reminder for those who thought Seth was no longer in the game.
Seth Gueko is a Marginal!
The instrumental composition of the track is signed by D.N aka Hits Alive, who has accompanied Seth Gueko throughout his career. The beatmaker notably composed “Paranoïak” by the rapper, as well as “La chatte à Mireille”, “Open Bar”, and “Professeur Punchline”. The production is minimalistic yet powerful, focusing entirely on the rhythm and the lyrics.
As the Professor pointed out in the track “Titi Parisien”: “Rapper vite, ça veut pas dire rapper bien” (“Rapping fast doesn’t mean rapping well”). A lesson he applies to himself, delivering powerful lines effortlessly. The artist highlights his journey and his entrepreneurial career.
The video, remarkably simple, focuses on the personality of Seth Gueko. Wissiz is at the helm. He had already worked with the rapper for the visuals of his track featuring the young Kanoé or on “Mange tes morts”.
