R2 is a young rapper who has quickly stood out thanks to a hybrid style blending drill, trap, and melodic influences, while cultivating an authentic and thoughtful image.
Since 2023, his trajectory has been marked by several notable releases, including Pastille Bleue and Full Exclu. On the latter, the track Beriz gave him his first real breakthrough: the song quickly resonated with audiences and is now approaching 10 million streams, marking a turning point in his career. His visibility continued to grow in 2025, notably with his inclusion in Booska-P’s “Eleven Rappers to Watch” list. That same year, he released his second project, 7/7, driven by tracks like Avant R2 and his first major hit C’est relou, which reached the Spotify France Top 50 and propelled him into the spotlight.
Shortly after, he unveiled the reissue of the project titled 7/7: 24/24, featuring one of the summer 2025 hits, Ruinart, which took the scene by storm upon release: number 1 on the Spotify France Top 50 and number 2 on the SNEP chart for three weeks. He then followed up with Hyperactif, his latest project, including tracks such as Pas Le Choix and Jamais toi, the latter certified platinum. R2 is now emerging as one of the leading figures of the new generation of French rap, driven by a strong identity and a rapidly rising trajectory.
