A master of words, flow magician, and warrior of sharp rhymes that sound like a call to gentle rebellion, Papa Style doesn’t let up despite the passage of time, unleashing his explosive beats and powerful lyrics like a rhythm genie. Relentlessly fast-paced, he has long been used to never stopping, staying out of control as he powers through concerts, albums, and festivals with the speed and energy of his ever-fast, ever-energized flow. Like he’s from another world, he shakes up the norm, a restless artist who mixes things up to surprise and awaken us.

Without breaking from his strengths—melodies flowing through Fast style, Rub-a-Dub, Sing Jay, or Hip-Hop—crafted by his favorite producers Manu Digital and Massif Boris (Danakil), who skillfully support his resilient chatter and dynamic pen, his flow makes no concessions. But here and there, in collaborations with legendary Jamaican singer King Kong, the gentle Brazilian Flavia Coelho, or the fiery Little Francky, he slows down to give us a moment to catch our breath. Non-conformist and highly prolific, with this second album Turbulent, Papa Style deepens the foundation of a universe that’s as committed as it is groovy, a world where vibes come free from pretenses or artifice, shooting out in every direction to be sure to reach every target.

If his 2014 debut "Alma de Guerrero" earned him the Revelation Artist of the Year title at the Victoires du Reggae, this second incendiary album should cement his status as a major player on the French and even international reggae/ragga scene. The assault begins now, so brace yourselves—Papa Style is back in town, pulling the pin on a jubilant, powerful sonic grenade. Meaning and strength, diversity and freedom, tension and lightness—rarely has an album like Turbulent so truly earned its name!

“A spirit of protest and anti-conformity, carried by top-notch instrumentals and sharp lyrics, runs through the entire album.”
