Emkal

Emkal, real name Mohamed Kaled, is a French rapper from Marseille. After several years of activity, he appeared on platforms in 2019, with his first tracks revolving around his favorite theme, love. In 2021, "Mon paradis" was a hit on recognition platforms, before the success of "J'la connais - Part 1", which reached No. 46 in the SNEP charts the following year. The song, remixed and performed as a duet with Lynda, made the rounds of the European charts, as did the following single "Oublie-moi". These tracks were included on Emkal's first album, Cœur Ouvert (2022), which featured contributions from Soprano, Sofiane, Soolking and Zaho, as well as Marwa Loud on its expanded reissue in 2023. Following the release of "J'la connais - Part 2", Emkal returned to the charts with "Zina" (no. 197), then "Pépita " in 2024 (no. 103), followed by a remix with Lyna Mahyem. Several other tracks, including the hit "Ego " with Gim's and Lola Indigo (ranked no. 121), anticipate the release of the album Cosmos (2024), featuring further collaborations with Josas, Timal, RK and Bardhi. This second opus reaches the same position on the SNEP album chart.
