About

Ninho, born William Nzobazola, is the French rap phenomenon who has redefined the boundaries of drill, trap, and storytelling in modern hip-hop. Hailing from Longjumeau in the Parisian suburbs, Ninho’s music is a raw, unfiltered reflection of his environment, blending gritty realism with cinematic flair. His signature style—marked by rapid-fire flows, intricate wordplay, and atmospheric production—has made him one of France’s most influential voices. Drawing inspiration from both American trap pioneers and French rap legends like Booba, Ninho has crafted a sound that is distinctly his own, resonating with a generation hungry for authenticity. Since his 2016 debut album *M.I.L.S*, Ninho has consistently shattered records, becoming the first French artist to top Spotify France’s charts and amassing billions of streams worldwide. His 2019 album *Destin* and 2021’s *Jefe* solidified his status as a rap titan, with tracks like “La vie qu’on mène” and “Jefe” becoming anthems. Beyond his solo work, Ninho’s collaborations with artists like Niska, SCH, and Central Cee have showcased his versatility and global appeal. Ninho’s cultural impact extends beyond music; he’s a symbol of resilience and ambition for France’s marginalized youth. His lyrics, often introspective and poetic, explore themes of struggle, success, and the duality of fame. In 2023, he continues to push boundaries, teasing new projects that promise to further cement his legacy as a trailblazer in the global rap scene.
