Flo Assy is a French-born, Réunion Island-based rapper, who spent a portion of his childhood in Côte d’Ivoire. The Francophone emcee burst into the French hip hop scene with his first two releases — 2015’s C’est La Vie and 2016’s Et Ta Dame? EP.
His latest single, the Dony Dark-produced “Rien n’est Certain” is a collaboration with fellow Réunion Island-based emcee Phantom that see the duo spitting densely worded bars and verses over a brooding and atmospheric trap-meets-trip hop-like production featuring tweeter and woofer rattling thump and eerie synth arpeggios. The two emcees rhyme about the struggles they face as artists and (most importantly) as people in an uncertain, uneasy world.
Shot on Réunion Island, the seemingly DIY video follows the two emcees in an abandoned and decrepit suburban pool, a children’s park, a forested area and more with a strobe light, further emphasizing the brooding and uneasy air of the single.
