MHD et Bizarrap: The French rapper and the Argentinian producer team up for the Bizarrap Music Session #44
Over the past two years, Argentinian producer Bizarrap has become one of the most popular and influential young artists of the Hispanic urban music scene. Since the release of the first Bizarrap Music Session in 2019, the artist from Buenos Aires has teamed up with a different artist each time to write and record a song in just an afternoon. Gradually he has made a name for himself on the scene and is now at a point where everything he touches turns to gold: the 44 sessions he has released to date have together been streamed over three billion times.
Over the course of the Bizarrap Music Sessions, artists of all kinds have taken part in the project, including rappers like Trueno, Kodigo, Dani and Ysy A, as well as urban artists like Nicki Nicole and Nathy Peluso (whose session has had over 250 million views on YouTube) and even internationally renowned acts like Eladio Carrion and reggaeton star Nicky Jam.
Then, Bizarrap put a video online a few weeks ago to announce, in both French and Spanish, that a session recorded with famed French rapper MHD – the first European artist to join him in the studio – would be released on 15th September.
