OBOY

Born on January 6, 1997 in Madagascar, French rapper Oboy, whose real name is Mihaja Ramiarinarivo, grew up in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges in the Val-de-Marne. In 2016, he released his first mixtape entitled Olyside, followed by Southside two years later. His style, inspired by American rap, borrows equally from trap and cloud rap. On social networks, Oboy's videos reach millions of views. July 2019 sees the release of his debut album Omega (No. 31), featuring the track "Je m'en tape", with collaborations from Aya Nakamura and Dutch rapper Dopebwoy. After placing the single "Cruel" in the French charts (no. 27), he reunited with Aya Nakamura in 2020 on the track "Préféré " (no. 4), which appeared on the Aya album, while Koba LaD invited him back in 2021 on the track "Cramé " (no. 4). The same year sees the release of his second album No Crari (No. 6 in Belgium and No. 8 in Switzerland), featuring the singles "No Blata" (No. 44), "Louis V" (No. 8) and "TDB " (No. 1). Oboy follows this up with the album Olyboy (2025), which reaches No. 4 in France and features contributions from 1pliké140, Josman, Leto, Merveille, Lil Gotit, Beskri and Keeqaid.
