JUL. The Marseille rapper Jul publishes, this Friday, June 9, his 28th album, called “C’est quand qu’il s’extinction.”
Jul who talks about politics in his texts and tackles the government, we didn’t totally see it coming. The Marseille rapper publishes, this Friday, June 9, 2023, his 28th project: an album called “C’est quand qu’il s’extinction?” A disc composed of 21 songs, including his latest single, Training, unveiled Tuesday on YouTube. By evoking his wife in a verse, Jul took the opportunity to tackle the executive and the pension reform, providing for the two-year postponement of the legal retirement age.
“64 years retired, he doesn’t respect the people the government”, launches the rapper Jul in this song. Would it mark his debut as a committed artist? Nothing is less sure. It remains necessary to specify that Jul had not accustomed, until now, his public to this kind of speaking. The music video for the song Training him, already totals more than 1.2 million views on YouTube…
This is not the first time that the government has been tackled by a French rapper. In March 2023, SCH (the “S”, great friend of the “J”), had denounced the use of 49.3 and the forced passage of the pension reform. “Government doesn’t care about the voice of the people, the use of 49.3 is proof of that, it’s like ‘it’ll pass no matter what’, and in a ‘democracy’ that keep thinking… How far will it go?” he wrote on Twitter. And to add: “And for all those who will judge that I do not have legitimacy to speak about it under the pretext that it is not something which concerns me, remain in your frustration, I do not forget where I am from. come and I have too much respect for our heroes to be just an object of entertainment.”
