Furax Barbarossa reaches 4 million views with "Le meilleur des hommes"

Eight years after its release, the music video for Furax Barbarossa Le meilleur des hommes (prod. Toxine) has reached 4 million views on YouTube. A long-building success, reflecting the talent of the independent rapper and the strength of the collective Bastard Prod. A look back at a track that has become a landmark in the French underground scene.

A clip that has lasted over time

Released on September 29, 2017, Le meilleur des hommes is the fourth clip taken from the album 100 comme un chien (Bastard Prod). Despite the lack of major promotional resources, the song has managed to capture the attention of a loyal audience, who continue to share it and keep it alive on social media. Today, it displays 4 million views.

Furax Barbarossa addresses his contradictions and responsibilities with sincerity, without ever seeking to set himself up as a role model. The text speaks of efforts, limitations and the difficulty of being a “good man” in an imperfect world. The production, entrusted to Toxine, brings a melodic and calm dimension that perfectly complements the flow and the lyrics. The final mixing and mastering was carried out by Neka at Studio Rootscore, while the production of the clip was entrusted to Cyprien “Esskahipé” Cayuela. The result is a coherent and powerful whole, which has survived the years without losing its strength.

Unlike immediate viral hits, the success of Le meilleur des hommes was built slowly, carried by the community and fans of Furax Barbarossa. This journey perfectly reflects the artist's identity: independent, constant, faithful to his vision and recognized for the consistency of his career. The song has become a reference in the catalog of Furax and a symbol of the French underground.
