NRJ Rap US

Here's the pitch: Hip Hop radio France has plenty of options, and almost none of them play American records without localising them. NRJ Rap US doesn't translate. Travis Scott, Future, 21 Savage, the whole Atlanta-to-Houston axis, plus Kendrick Lamar's album cuts rather than the singles. The presentation stays French, the music never does. That's the point. Compare it with the French rap stations crowding the dial and the logic sharpens: this is the source, not the version. Presenters keep the talk tight, which suits a format where the records do the heavy lifting. You can listen to NRJ Rap US…
