Album lore

A La Youv, issued in 2012 on Warner France, gathers Canardo’s efforts across sixteen tracks that traverse the terrain of French rap and pop urbaine with a roster of collaborators emblematic of the era’s Parisian scene. Notable guest appearances include La Fouine, Orelsan, and Tal, whose feature on "M'en Aller" punctuates the album with a melodic counterpoint. The record blends chanson’s narrative bent with the rhythmic cadences of hip-hop, underscored by contributions from artists like S.pri Noir, Mister You, and Niro.Recorded amid the burgeoning activity of early 2010s French rap, A La Youv unfolds with a balance of streetwise lyricism and accessible hooks, reflective of Canardo’s dual role as rapper and producer. Tracks such as "Ca Vient De Paris" and "Mauvais Plan" highlight a keen ear for collaboration, while the presence of pop sensibilities situates the album within variété française without forsaking its urban roots. The record’s 40,000-plus scrobbles attest to a modest yet dedicated listenership, marking it as a signal within the canon of French hip-hop’s second decade.
