LES DIAMANTS DE BOKASSA

Ninho, Tiakola

Ninho and Tiakola are French hip-hop artists associated with contemporary French rap and urban music. Ninho, born in 1996 in the Paris region, emerged in the mid-2010s and is known for melodic flows, street-oriented lyricism, and a blend of trap, drill, and chanson-influenced melody, gaining prominence through mixtapes and charting albums. Tiakola, a member of the Wianasty collective and also from the Paris metropolitan area, rose to visibility in the late 2010s and early 2020s with a style that mixes autotuned singing and rap over trap-influenced production. Both artists are noted for collaboration within the French rap scene, use of melodic hooks, and themes reflecting urban life and personal experience.
