A sunny figure on the new British hip-hop scene, Rejjie Snow comes to defend the colors of Peace 2 Da World, a third album marked by his nonchalant phrasing and soul influences.A precocious talent spotted fifteen years ago with his first tracks, Rejjie Snow revealed his talents to the greatest number of people in 2018, with a first album nourished by an already rich career. Born in Dublin to a Nigerian father and a mother of Jamaican origin, he was still a teenager when he flew to Florida to play soccer on a scholarship. After a spell in Savannah studying film, Rejjie Snow returned to Ireland to devote himself fully to music. Growing up in a neighborhood where you're the only black person, discovering life and the world all at once - these are the experiences that run through Dear Annie, marked by a sharp sense of narrative. In 2021, Baa, Baa, Black Sheep delves into a vein both more soulful (samples, percussion and analog synthesizers) and more pop (an art of melody not unlike that of American rapper Tyler, The Creator). In 2024, Peace 2 Da World blossoms into a radiant eclecticism, where the most languorous soul rubs shoulders with rhythms and sounds brought back from Brazil....

Figure solaire de la nouvelle scène hip-hop britannique, Rejjie Snow vient défendre les couleurs de Peace 2 Da World, troisième album marqué par son phrasé nonchalant et des influences soul.Talent précoce repéré voilà quinze ans dès ses premiers morceaux, Rejjie Snow révèle ses talents au plus grand nombre en 2018, avec un premier album nourri d’un parcours déjà riche. Né à Dublin d’un père nigérian et d’une mère d’origine jamaïcaine, il est encore adolescent quand il s’envole pour la Floride pour jouer au football, à la faveur d’une bourse scolaire. Après un crochet par Savannah pour étudier le cinéma, Rejjie Snow revient en Irlande et se consacre pleinement à la musique. Grandir dans un quartier où l’on est le seul Noir, découvrir la vie et le monde dans un même élan, autant d’expériences qui traversent Dear Annie, marqué par un sens aiguisé du récit. En 2021, Baa, Baa, Black Sheep creuse une veine à la fois plus soul (les samples, percussions et synthétiseurs analogiques) et plus pop (un art de la mélodie qui n’est pas sans rappeler celui du rappeur américain Tyler, The Creator). En 2024, Peace 2 Da World s’épanouit dans un éclectisme radieux, où la soul la plus langoureuse côtoie des rythmes et sonorités ramenés du Brésil.
