Rappers Bigflo & Oli intend to launch their musical "
springboard
" in the coming months, a competition reserved for young Toulouse artists which will allow the winners to perform at their festival, they announced Tuesday at a press conference.
"We've been on it for years, we want to do it [...] We're supposed to finally have our springboard in a few months
," said Florian Ordonez, known by the stage name Bigflo in the duo of rapper brothers from the pink City.
A key check
If the terms of participation in the competition still seem unclear, the two artists assured that the winners would be invited to play during their festival, the Rose festival, scheduled for September 1 to 3 for its second edition.
They should also win a check, the amount of which has not been specified.
“I wanted there to be a “cash price” because I know that when you start, you struggle.
The first springboard we won was a check for 1,000 euros on the invoice and thanks to that, we were poor but we were able to afford a computer
, ”explained Bigflo.

The rapper brothers wanted to launch this competition already last year, but they had postponed it to focus on the organization of their festival.
“This year, if all goes well, there will be the springboard.
But it won't change people's lives: it's a small bonus, people shouldn't expect Bigflo and Oli to give them a hand and make them pierce through I don't know what magic, "
said warned Bigflo.
