Lorenzo
Absurdist French rap that balances high-gloss trap production with a troll-like commitment to vulgarity and irony. High-energy anthems for the unbothered.

Lorenzo, born Jérémie Serrandour, is a pivotal figure in the 'troll-rap' subgenre of French hip-hop. Emerging from the Rennes-based collective Columbine under the name Larry Garcia, he pivoted to the Lorenzo persona in 2016 to explore a more satirical, provocative sound.
His debut mixtape, 'Empereur du sale,' established his aesthetic: a mix of lo-fi aesthetics and high-energy trap. By the release of 'Rien à branler' (2018) and 'Sex in the City' (2019), he had successfully transitioned from an internet curiosity to a chart-topping force, collaborating with major names like Shy'm and Rico Nasty. His sound identity is defined by a juxtaposition of professional, mainstream-ready production and lyrics that intentionally violate social taboos. Critically, he is often compared to artists like Vald or Orelsan for his use of irony and second-degree humor, though Lorenzo leans more heavily into the 'sale' (dirty) aesthetic. He represents a generation of artists who use digital marketing and viral personas to bypass traditional industry gatekeepers while maintaining a high level of technical proficiency in songcraft.
