Our predictions: who will be the winner of Nouvelle École Season 5?
Within the Radar editorial team, we already have our favorites. Here are the talents we’re betting on this year:
Djiro: The pride of the Cercle PXP – A raw talent with rare authenticity. Djiro is part of the family, we have already dressed him and he perfectly represents the DNA of Project X Paris. The whole team wishes him good luck for the show! Discover his flow in video here.
ANS: The challenger who could sweep it all – With a precise flow, formidable technical ease, and a stage presence that immediately grabs attention, he has the perfect profile to create a surprise. He’s exactly the kind of hybrid talent who can turn the jury around at the last minute and snatch the victory. The top duel promises to be epic.
Typhee: an interesting profile – If there’s one name you need to remember this season, it’s Typhee. With a sharp pen, undeniable charisma, and a flow that adapts to all beats, he has absolutely everything of the big winner. We’re placing bets right now: his journey is likely to mark the show.
Badara & Rita Clara: The formidable outsiders – Two totally different profiles but explosive energy. Badara impresses with his technique, while Rita Clara brings a visual and musical freshness that could cause major damage in the competition.
These former contestants who marked Nouvelle École (and PXP!)
We couldn’t talk about Nouvelle École without giving a nod to those who engraved their names in the show. Artists like AMK, Yorssy, or the iconic BB Jacques left a mark with their uniqueness.
But Nouvelle École is also a story of style and attitude, strongly linked to the Cercle PXP:
Shayne: Winner of season 4 and proud PXP representative. Remember the Cyphers challenge where he dropped his legendary verse: he was wearing our now iconic mohair sweater. A visual and auditory masterclass.
