Papité

A true Brusselse ket. Rapping in English, Dutch and French. Whether boop-bap, electronic or cloud-rap, what stays the same is an inextinguishable passion for music and rhymes and a contagious energy on stage.

After a few years of trying out different music styles and finding his lane, papité finally feels ready to show himself to the world. Mixing rap genres and languages effortlessly to show the city’s multiculturalism. With ne3ne3 (mint tea in Arabic) mixtape he wants to put Brussel-based rap on an international map. All the while hoping to motivate listeners to carve their own path and not being limited to the educational-system nor to a 9 to 5. With ‘doing’ and ‘trying’ as his favorite verbs, he wants to distance himself from overthinking and keep on putting music out while remaining his true self at all times.

About ne3ne3 mixtape

Recorded in his family’s village in Greece, right next to his grandmother’s room (she had no idea btw), during the summer holidays. Writing and recording music 12 hours a day for two weeks straight, with no breaks except for taking his grandma out for a freddo espresso in the afternoon. What it led to: two full volumes of different rap and RnB styles, written in three languages. Defined by the message of breaking society’s predetermined paths as well as the walls within our minds, along with the pain of letting dreams remain imaginary and the reward of making them a reality. All of this is tied together by a wide palette of random, deep and funny interludes. After two years of trying out music styles and finding his lane, recording this mixtape came at exactly the right time in his career. Papité is ready for the next step.
