A decade after dropping their first classic, the duo Obia Le Chef and Cotola are back, refining both the substance and style on their new 14-track opus, Nimrod. With deep lyrics and grandiose compositions, this album is a testament to their continued growth.
⁠
Their latest single, “Bon Dieu Voit,” stands out as a powerful showcase of Obia’s lyrical prowess and rebellious spirit, set against Cotola’s captivating production. This track, along with the previously released teasers “Chiengrat” and “Moonwalk,” brings a timeless vibe that proves these artists are far from newcomers.
⁠
Nimrod offers a rich sonic journey through carefully crafted interludes, storytelling, and reality. The album features standout collaborations like Rowjay’s on “Oseille des Franc-Maçons” and Fléau Dicaprio’s charisma on “Pam Nan.” Obia effortlessly transitions from egotrip to introspection over Cotola’s versatile production, spanning R&B smoothness (“Purelaine” with Sabrina Sabotage), 80s fusion, and drumless trap rhythms (“Doute Raisonnable” with Bob Marlich).
⁠
“Bon Dieu Voit” is a must-listen for anyone seeking thought-provoking hip-hop with a deep social critique. Obia takes a bold stand against industry biases and racism in Quebec, committing to preserve the essence of hip-hop.
