On his Instagram account, Testri expresses his gratitude to the performer of Bolide Allemand for the invitation to Planète Rap. This was a golden opportunity for the rapper, who recently signed with IG Records and Morning Glory, the label led by DJ Belleck. The label is buzzing, securing one promising talent after another. After bringing in the gifted Loko from Sarcelles and Bag Jeune B, who just returned from a trip to Brazil for his latest track, it’s now Testri’s turn to join this rising powerhouse.
Today, the rapper unveils the visuals for Crystal Palace, the track that propelled him into the spotlight on Planète Rap. With well-placed references, a razor-sharp drill flow, and punchlines that hit hard, SDM knew exactly what he was doing: TESTRI is pure talent, distilled!
TESTRI steps out of his Crystal Palace!
Behind the high-energy drill production of this banger is Doumsi, a well-known beatmaker recognized for his collaborations with Souli B on tracks like Signal, Comment ça, 10x mieux, and Saddam. The beat, as impactful as the artist himself, reflects his raw energy and deep roots in the 93, where he drops this striking punchline: “Le 93, c’est pas Crystal Palace” (93 ain’t Crystal Palace).
With lines like “They claim to be interested in us, but their words are full of stereotypes” and “It’s either jail or a million streams”, Testri proves he’s more than just a lyrical talent. His writing, packed with subtle references—including nods to Kendrick Lamar—reveals an artist who’s aware, observant of the world around him, and unafraid to tackle deep subjects without falling into typical conscious rap tropes.
The visuals for Crystal Palace perfectly match the track’s atmosphere. Shot in the raw, urban setting of his neighborhood and the iconic Espaces d’Abraxas in Noisy-le-Grand, the video reinforces his strong visual identity.
