Abstract.

Orelsan is back and intends to set the pace.

At the end of October, he surprises his fans by unveiling the imminent release of his fourth solo album "Civilization", scheduled for November 19.

The 39-year-old rapper has already been surfing for several weeks on the cardboard of a documentary series devoted to his career, “Never show that to anyone”, broadcast on the Amazon Prime Video platform.

Aurélien Cotentin, known as Orelsan, made his rap debut with the help of his friends Gringe, Ablaye and Skread, who help him produce and share sounds on MySpace.

In 2009, with his album "Perdu d'avance", France discovered a rapper against the tide, who spoke of his youth in rural areas.

In fifteen years, he has become an essential name in the hip-hop scene.

This episode is told by Emmanuel Marolle, head of the culture department of Le Parisien.
