Jul is a French rapper, singer and producer from Marseille, active from the early 2010s onward. Closely associated with the city’s urban music scene, his work blends contemporary French rap with elements of trap, cloud rap and melodic autotuned vocals. Known for prolific output and independently oriented releases, his songs often feature repetitive, catchy hooks, straightforward lyrical themes reflecting everyday life and street culture, and production that emphasizes synth melodies and programmed beats. Jul’s approach helped popularize a melodic, DIY strain of French hip hop with wide commercial reach.
