After several freestyles that gained traction online, Zé stepped into the Morning Glory universe led by DJ Bellek. The young rapper joined a buzzing roster alongside Yoko, who is also from Sarcelles, as well as Favé, Decimo, and Bag Jeune B. Moving between Sarcelles and Melun, Zé gradually built a distinctive artistic identity: a style of rap sometimes infused with melodies, fueled by introspection and driven by a clear-eyed perspective on street life.
Then came the moment of the first real test. Zé released his debut EP on Morning Glory, distributed under license by Believe, titled “L’assemblée”. On this project, the artist confirms his ambitions and notably teams up with So La Lune on the track “À la mer”, a collaboration that expands the sonic universe of the EP.
To support the release, Zé also unveiled the visual for “Let Go”, a track that serves as a true artistic calling card. The song unfolds in a calm, almost contemplative style of rap, with an atmosphere seemingly shaped by the period of Ramadan, giving the track an introspective and soothing tone.
Zé promotes his project “L’assemblée” with “Let Go”.
The instrumental composition of the track is credited to Kary. The producer is also credited on the song “4Shopping” by Zé, also featured on the project “L’assemblée”. He is also behind the track “Salle du temps #4” for Dinero, highlighting his growing involvement in the emerging rap scene.
The production stands out with several guitar arpeggios that bring a melancholic tone to the track. Within this sonic landscape, Zé delivers a lucid and serious reflection on street life. Much like the “Deux Frères”, his perspective on the street blends raw realism with a sense of fatalism. In the track, he speaks about what he knows:
“Everyone has a role to play, in the tieks we weren’t the only ones hustling for pesos
It turns into drama, yeah — even if you think he loves you, he’s just trying to play you”
The visual, carried by a slightly dreamlike aesthetic, was directed by GOR. The director remains largely unknown publicly, with very little information available about him, although his staging here effectively supports the introspective atmosphere of the track.
