Quebec \u2013<\/strong> A decade after delivering their first classic, the duo Obia le Chef<\/a><\/strong> and Cotola<\/a><\/strong> return to the charge, refining both the content and the form on Nimrod<\/em>, their new 14-track opus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event features profound texts and pharaonic compositions, a testament to culture. The excerpts, revealed bit by bit, Chiengrat<\/a><\/em> <\/strong>and Moonwalk<\/a><\/em> were able to announce the timeless atmosphere of the work and demonstrate that their authors are not yesterday's makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This album is intended to be the soundtrack of a journey through sought-after interludes, storytelling and reality. Coherence and originality are shared by the finesse of Rowjay <\/strong><\/a>on the piece Oseille des Franc-Ma\u00e7ons<\/em> <\/a>and the charisma of Fl\u00e9au Dicaprio<\/a> <\/strong>on Pam Nan<\/em><\/a>. Moving from ego trip to introspection, Obia settles without artifice on the sounds of Cotola<\/strong>, covering a wide range of musical styles, from smooth R&B (Purelaine<\/strong> with Sabrina Sabotage<\/strong>) to the fusion of the 80s passing through the drumless with a Caribbean trap rhythm as is the case of Reasonable Doubt<\/em> <\/strong>with Bob Marlich<\/strong> (France).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flagship song of the project, "Good Lord Sees"<\/strong> is a striking work that exhibits the lyrical talent of Obia<\/strong> and his rebellious spirit, all on a captivating composition by Cotola<\/strong>. With his sharp and authentic lyrics, the rapper takes a stand against industry bias and racism in Quebec, and commits to protecting the essence of hip-hop. An essential addition for listeners seeking thought-provoking hip-hop that offers profound social critique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, the songs Moonwalk<\/a><\/em> and Chiengrat<\/a> <\/em>as well as Oseille des Francs-Ma\u00e7ons<\/em> <\/a>and Pam Nan<\/a><\/em> have been widely broadcast on several radio stations such as CFAK 88.3 FM, Le Rapologue, CIBL 101.5 FM (La Faim Du Rap), Radio Centre-Ville 102.3 FM, CJLO 1690 AM, CISM 89.3 FM, CKGN 89.7 FM, CIVR Radio Ta\u00efga and CHOQ 105.1 FM<\/strong> (Toronto).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the songs were added to numerous editorial playlists on Apple Music <\/strong>& Spotify.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nimrod<\/em> was fully mixed and mastered by Cotola<\/strong>, under the label Soltec Records<\/strong> and Productions Tunnel Vision Inc<\/strong>. The album is now available on all digital platforms through Soltec Records\/Symphonic<\/strong> accompanied by the video clip Bon Dieu voit <\/strong>directed by Cotola. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obia le Chef <\/strong>will be performing on June 13 and 14, he will accompany on stage Fl\u00e9au Dicaprio<\/strong> in the first part of Larry Kidd <\/strong>to the Electric Pussy <\/strong>within the framework of the Francophonie de Montr\u00e9al.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
