The artist conquers the world

From 2012 to 2018, a period marked by memorable rap battles where the power of his lyrics left its mark, whether in Quebec or on the Champs-Élysées. He managed to establish himself in one of the most challenging music industries: French rap, which is very different from the Quebec scene.

Beyond the battles, St-Saoul is known for his work in the shadows, never seeking recognition at all costs. Coming from the hip-hop community, he has been able to broaden his horizons thanks to his love of music, collaborating with artists such as Thomas Argouin, Alex Roy and many young rappers.

It also offers writing and beatmaking workshops to educate and introduce young people to hip-hop culture.

A tour for 2025

To celebrate this return, St-Saoul and his team are preparing a tour in Quebec starting this summer, which will continue until 2026. The artist will then cross the Atlantic to meet his audience in France, thus confirming his status as a bridge between the two scenes.
