In 2020, UZI hit 40 million views with his track “A la fête”. Since then, the rapper from the 77 department has firmly established himself in the French rap scene. His comeback is marked by the album “Sur le chemin”, featuring some interesting collaborations, notably with Zed, SDM, and Naza. To promote his album, he presents the track “Gars du Zoo”, a chronicle of his life as an artist and his current success.
UZI truly embodies a “Gars du Zoo”!
The musical composition of the track is crafted by Shabzbeats, a renowned French beatmaker known for hits like “TheVieRadio” by Damso, as well as “Priez pour moi” and “Sheguey 6” by Gradur. The melody, both dynamic and catchy, perfectly accompanies UZI in his storytelling, offering a brief retrospective on the journey of a successful artist.
The video follows UZI in the studio, during his appearances on Planète Rap, and everywhere he’s warmly received today. The visual direction is the work of Kayodé Fagbohoun, who had previously collaborated with UZI on the track “Pélican”.
