There is the surface of the earth. And there is what lies beneath. That is, the underground... For years, Michaël Eveno alias Grems has been busying himself in this no-man's-land that is bubbling with ideas and sounds. His furious, crazy hip-hop projects are unlike any others.

With Sans Titre #7, the writer of Algèbre (2004), Airmax (2006), Vampire (2013), Buffy (2014) and Green Pisse (2016) consistently threw out more and more of that madness that only he can produce. The punchlines are impressive, and the minimalism of the production avoids unnecessary ornament.
