Inna Di Club by ISHA & Limsa d’Aulnay: moody, driving, magnetic

“Inna Di Club (Prod. Herman)” by ISHA and Limsa d’Aulnay slips seamlessly into the spirit of the 2026 concert lineup, because the track captures the exact tension that defines this new wave of French rap — a blend of raw honesty, nocturnal introspection, and high‑voltage energy. Its smoky club atmosphere, its mix of melancholy and bravado, and its rhythm‑first craftsmanship echo the live electricity these upcoming shows promise: artists pushing boundaries, bending genres, and turning every venue into a pressure chamber where bass, emotion, and technical mastery collide.

Vaporous insolence, egotrip, venomous whispers: 2026 is shaping up to be a year of pure flows and bold sonic identities.

The new year is already buzzing with artists ready to push boundaries, twist genres, and turn venues into pressure cookers. From French rap’s most intriguing shapeshifters to dub innovators and lyrical heavyweights, here are six concerts that promise to raise the temperature in 2026.

Baby Neelou — Vaporous Insolence in Motion

French Rap • Vénissieux

The ghost of Young Thug’s 2015 era hovers over Baby Neelou, whose hazy insolence drifts effortlessly between French and English. Always balancing on the razor’s edge between modernity, efficiency, and deliberate derailment, he was one of 2025’s most prolific voices.

His two projects — Off Season Baby and La Couleur de la Toile — felt like raw, unfiltered demonstrations of musical instinct. Sonic experimentation meets quiet technical mastery, forming a style that’s both fragile and fearless.

Live: Saturday, February 7, 2026 — 7:30 PM
Venue: Bizarre!, VĂŠnissieux
Tickets: €5–€15

Adés the Planet — A Chameleon Expanding Her Universe

French Rap • Lyon

With her debut album Bâtarde Sensible, Adés the Planet sharpened her artistic identity. Her chameleon‑like rap draws strength from its stylistic diversity, anchored by a flow that can be razor‑sharp one moment and hypnotic the next.

Dry, precise placements, venomous whispers, and bold vocal risks shape a universe that feels both rigorous and free. She widens her perimeter without abandoning her foundations — even veering into unexpected rock territory on the explosive track Hollywood.

Live: Friday, February 20, 2026 — 8 PM
Venue: MarchĂŠ Gare, Lyon 2
Tickets: €21–€23

BigaRanx — The Architect of Vapor‑Dub*

Dub • Villeurbanne

Long past imitating Jamaican velocity, BigaRanx* has fully embraced the “vapor‑dub” aesthetic he pioneered. Somewhere between Lee Scratch Perry’s digital dub and the lo‑fi haze of cloud rap, he has built a cottony, melodic sound through his label Brigante Records.

With his new album Rainshine and the cult legacy of Sunset Cassette, his 2026 show promises full immersion in a liquid musical world where heavy sound‑system bass dissolves into nostalgic synth layers. Under his Telly* alias, he deconstructs roots reggae to rebuild it into something resolutely modern.

Live: Saturday, March 14, 2026 — 7 PM
Venue: Transbordeur, Villeurbanne
Tickets: €31.90–€34.90

Isha & Limsa d’Aulnay — Two Heavyweights, One Brutal Honesty

French Rap • Villeurbanne

Far from any artificial buddy‑movie vibe, the alliance between Isha and Limsa d’Aulnay celebrates the rise of adult rap — technical, disillusioned, and deeply human. Isha brings the gravelly gravity honed through his La Vie Augmente trilogy, while Limsa injects flexibility, sharp technique, and a saving dose of second‑degree humor.

Their joint project Bitume Caviar revives the spirit of iconic duos like Lunatic or Method Man & Redman, using multisyllabic rhyme to dissect everyday neuroses and the passing of time. On stage, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 promise to turn melancholy into minimalist, unifying anthems.

Live: Saturday, April 11, 2026 — 7 PM
Venue: Transbordeur, Villeurbanne
Tickets: €26.80–€29.90

TH — The Trap Surgeon

French Rap • Villeurbanne

Arriving just when trap seemed to be running out of steam, TH injected new electricity into the genre. His projects E‑Trap and Algorithme showcase a flow of surgical precision slicing through metallic, rugged productions.

He politicizes trap through an anti‑egotrip lens, painting a dark, stripped‑down everyday life with clinical clarity rather than nonchalance. Behind his imposing voice lies a surprising emotional sensitivity — one that makes his live performances magnetic.

Live: Saturday, April 18, 2026 — 7 PM
Venue: La Rayonne, Villeurbanne
Tickets: €27.20

Jazzy Bazz — The Veteran Who Never Misses

French Rap • Villeurbanne

A pillar of francophone rap for nearly twenty years, Jazzy Bazz remains one of the genre’s most technically and lyrically reliable figures. His latest album Nirvana drifts like a nocturnal walk, drawing him closer to Laylow’s virtual aesthetic.

His open‑hearted introspection expands through contradictory soundscapes, tracing the path of an artist navigating between avant‑garde impulses and the roots of the craft he has always honored.

Live: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 — 8 PM
Venue: Transbordeur, Villeurbanne
Tickets: €30

Limsa d’Aulnay’s Precision Flow

The Cadence‑First Method
One of the most revealing — and least publicized — aspects of Limsa’s artistry is how he builds his verses from spoken rhythm before he builds them from words. In early sessions with producers from his Aulnay circle, he’s known to murmur entire tracks in pure cadence, shaping breath patterns, pauses, and emotional temperature before deciding on the actual lyrics. It’s a technique closer to jazz phrasing than classic rap writing, and it explains why his flow feels so fluid, conversational, and deceptively simple: the music of the voice comes first, the meaning arrives after. This is why he can switch from dry humor to melancholy in a single bar — the emotional architecture is already baked into the rhythm long before the punchlines land.
