Grünt d’Or 2025: What the France Partners with Grünt to Celebrate the New Voices of French Rap

In collaboration with the independent media Grünt, What the France and the CNM are highlighting the new urban scene from France in an innovative and already iconic format: the Grünt d’Or awards. By combining their expertise, What the France and Grünt reaffirm their shared commitment to supporting today’s and tomorrow’s rap artists.

In 2025, What the France, a recommendation brand of the CNM, teams up with the independent media Grünt to support the new season of the Grünt d’Or, a series of filmed live music sessions that spotlight artists from the French rap scene.

Grünt, a leading media in urban music, has been championing a new generation of artists for over ten years through demanding, raw, and authentic formats. Its Grünt d’Or series has garnered thousands of views and quickly established itself as a must-watch live rap event. The Grünt d’Or features rap live sessions filmed in a single take, set in original locations, with unique arrangements. This raw, immersive format gives artists the freedom to express themselves in new ways, far from the usual live or interview conventions.

Through this partnership, What the France seeks to reinforce its support for a dynamic, inclusive, and independent artistic scene. Additionally, the program upholds strong values, particularly regarding gender parity in both the lineup and production teams.
