You don’t know Jul? Then you are probably over 30. The rapper from Marseille is the most successful musician in France, a superstar of Generation Z. Now he is preparing to conquer Germany too.
If you ask French people about Yule, they answer with a strange gesture: thumbs apart, index and middle fingers up, ring and little fingers folded down. Sounds complicated, but if you try it, with a bit of luck you’ll end up with “J u L”. The hand sign is no longer for the initiated – Julien Marie, as the artist’s full name is, was born in Marseille in January 1990, and is from France most successful rapper. Not knowing him is like not knowing who Kylian Mbappé is supposed to be or in which city the Eiffel Tower is located.
