Thanks Marracash, you tell us the truth

Play a game: you have to take a group photograph in which you are in the center and all around, standing on a lawn, the people you consider your family are lined up. Who would you like next to you? On the cover of his latest album We, them, the others, the rapper Marracash, the king of rap, wanted his parents, brother, sister-in-law, grandchildren, ex-girlfriend Elodie and close friends: «The people who were close to me while I was making the record». The family changes, even if the blood family sometimes stays forever and sometimes doesn’t, for a rapper as for each of us: it is the place of intimacy, of roots, but also of conflict, if it is a living place.

Nothing exceptional about my story / Mine weren’t doctors nor thieves / Where I come from, you know, it was already something / The real stars for us were the criminals.

Marracash is now an essential musician for those who want to understand our time. For how he is able, a 42-year-old man now, to talk about his frailties, doubts, anxieties, the impossibility of making love last, a viscous maternal love, I don’t need it and I don’t want it, / for me it’s just a way of hiding from the world, of mental health, of its attraction to chaos and night.

Today Marracash likes the night not to make a mess like when he was a boy but because, in those hours between two and five, he is finally alone, in silence, concentrated, and he can write. His lyrics are full of cinematic quotes, respect for the community and annoyance for those who pretend to marry fashion causes without really feeling them, admiration for those who grow up on the street without becoming cynical, like Elodie: they are raw and beautiful texts that you can only afford. who really has the courage to look within and deal with its contradictions. Success, fame, money: nothing is as true as the truth for Marracash. Not even the family.

The love? The love he talks about? / That is, to squeeze something strong until it suffocates?

The secret of a true artist is to want to seek the truth, at the cost of not sleeping.
