Lesram

Lesram, whose real name is Marcel Valty, is a French rapper born in Paris on November 6, 1996. After growing up in Pré-Saint-Gervais, Seine-Saint-Denis, he made a name for himself as part of the Panama Bende collective, alongside PLK, Aladin 135, Ormaz, Zeurti, Elyo and Assaf, with whom he released the albums Bende Mafia (2016) and ADN (2017), marked by a strong influence of 1990s New York rap. After the group's gradual dissolution, Lesram went solo and attracted attention with the tracks "Jeune d'en bas" and "J'repense", before bringing his project to fruition with the mixtape G-31 in 2020, buoyed by "East Side 2.0". In 2022, he returned with the Wesh Enfoiré project, where he collaborated with Alpha Wann ("Rotation") and PLK (" Avec le temps", ranked 119ᵉ in the French SNEP top. In 2024, Lesram released his debut album Du Peu Que J'ai Eu, du Mieux Que J'ai Pu, preceded by the singles "Du mieux que j'ai pu" and "Question". The project includes collaborations with PLK ("100X") and Josman ("Triste mélancolie"), confirming his rise on the French rap scene. Lesram's technical, precise rap is influenced by the golden age of boom-bap, while incorporating modern sounds. His introspective songwriting and mastery of rhythmic placement have contributed to his growing notoriety, as evidenced by the success of his album Malvado (2025), which reached No. 13 on the SNEP chart and included a duet with Limsa d'Aulnay on "Austin Powers".
