A “beautiful jury” of “people”, a small cash reward, and a place on the stage of a festival as a launching pad. Faithful to the Pink City, the rappers Bigflo & Oli intend to launch a competition reserved for young artists from Toulouse. “We’ve been on it for years, we want to do it […] We are supposed to finally have our springboard in a few months, ”explains Oli.
If the terms of participation in this “springboard” still seem unclear, the two brothers assure that the winners would be invited to play during the festival pink, the second edition of which will take place from September 1 to 3. They should therefore also win a check, the amount of which has not been specified. “I wanted there to be a cash prize because I know that when you start, you struggle. The first springboard we won was a check for 1,000 euros on the invoice and thanks to that, we were poor but we were able to afford a computer, ”says Bigflo.
A nudge but no magic wand
The rapper brothers wanted to launch this contest already last year, but they had postponed it to focus on the organization of their festival. “This year, if all goes well, there will be the springboard. But it won’t change people’s lives: it’s a small bonus, people shouldn’t expect Bigflo and Oli to give them a hand and make them pierce through some magic, “warns anyway Bigflo.
