Raccoon
His refined European lyrics, punchy American flow and Haitian cultural background give Raccoon’s music a unique richness. In 2016, the young artist released his first rap videos. He took to the stage for the first time at Métropolis, at the community show À voix levée, featuring Dramatik, J. Kyll, Sarahmée and Webster. But it was his many appearances at the Word Up! Battles that Raccoon’s talent was quickly spotted. He first released the mixtape Mettre les gants, tuer le croc-mitaine in March 2019 and a few months later launched Gentil pour un noir, his critically acclaimed debut album. Raccoon’s natural talent and committed songwriting, combined with a touch of humour, earned him an enviable reputation as Révélation Rap Radio-Canada 2020-2021. He then went on to release Le set up, a second, more pop-oriented album, evoking current issues such as mental health and the status of women. He also appeared in the finals of the La fin des faibles competition on Télé-Québec in 2021. Coon : la prophétie, the third album, was released in October 2022. Still only 25, Raccoon continues to shine with finesse and depth of spirit.
