Who is Guerta, the samurai rapper who wields words like swords?
Summary
At PXP, we support artists who don’t just follow trends but impose their own universe. And Guerta, originally from Vietnam and a rapper from Paris’s 13th arrondissement, is the perfect example. A mix of technical street rap, soaring melodies, and deep Asian references, he builds a world apart, between Paris and Asia, between sharp punchlines and introspection.
A rapper with a unique and cutting universe
Guerta has a precise flow, sharp writing, but also a strong visual and cultural identity. Of Vietnamese origin, he proudly claims his roots through each of his projects. His journey? 3 independently released projects, 700,000 streams, over 300,000 YouTube views, and a strong stage presence through numerous concerts.
His style reflects him: authentic, sharp, and inspired.
An assumed Japanese aesthetic
For Guerta, the Asian universe is not a backdrop, it’s a guiding line. Each project is a nod to his heritage, to a culture close to his heart. This is shown by:
- The Last Samurais (album, 2022): a direct tribute to the spirit of combat, code, and loyalty.
- Jutsu part.1 (2022) & Jutsu part.2 (2024): clear reference to ninja imagery, hidden techniques, inner mastery.
- Hanzo part.1 & 2 (2024): on the covers, Japanese swords proudly stand – one for the first part, two for the second… We already guess that part 3 will complete the picture, with a space ready to welcome the third sword.
This attention to symbols, visuals, and references creates a rare coherence in the French rap scene. Guerta doesn’t just rap: he tells a story, his own.
A street and samurai style
What connects us to Guerta? The same love of detail, message, and meaningful style. At Project X Paris, we defend strong streetwear that expresses an attitude, a will to carve one’s own path. Guerta, he wears the sword at his waist and the mic as a banner.
