From the Pablo Picasso housing estate in Nanterre, in the Hauts-de-Seine
department, rapper Ven1 leaves few clues as to his identity, appearing with his
face hidden behind sunglasses, a balaclava and a hood. His stage name, however,
quickly circulated on the French rap scene, thanks to his first single, a
melancholy track dotted with guitars, "Hakayet" . In 2024, the clip garnered
over five million views on YouTube in less than three months, and reached number
23 on the French singles chart. Following this, in May, he released a second
track, "Bougie ", with a cloud rap feel.
