Therapy: trap returns to Paris on November 13 with Konieur

Trap never really disappeared. On November 13, Therapy intends to remind us of that. Still partnering with Project X Paris, the collective returns to YOYO at the Palais de Tokyo for a new night with one straightforward motto: “BRING TRAP BACK INTO FASHION!”

For this new edition, Therapy teams up with Konieur to take us through more than ten years of trap, from 2015 to 2026, all in one night. French rap, American rap, generational classics, a new wave and maximum energy: see you on Friday, November 13, 2026, in the heart of Paris.

A night that perfectly reflects Therapy’s DNA, as well as that of Project X Paris: music, streetwear, dance and urban culture come together once again in the same place.

The club reserves the right to refuse entry in accordance with the terms and conditions specified by the official ticketing service.

Therapy and Konieur want to put trap back at the center

The concept comes down to one sentence: from 2015 to 2026, one motto only: energy.

Throughout the night, Therapy plans to bring different generations of trap together. The generation behind the tracks that left their mark in the mid-2010s, when the genre firmly established itself in French rap, as well as today’s generation, led by a new scene that is taking its codes and transforming them.

On November 13, there’s no question of getting stuck in one era. The night will bring together the classics that shaped French and American trap with tracks by those helping it return to the forefront today.

And to represent this new generation, Therapy has picked a name to watch closely: Konieur.

Who is Konieur, the rapper looking to move a new generation?

His name may not be familiar to the wider public just yet. That could change quickly.

Originally from Moissy-Cramayel, in Seine-et-Marne, Konieur is one of the artists the new French rap scene is gradually turning its attention to. After a run of singles helped him gain visibility in 2025, he was selected in early 2026 as one of the “12 rookies of Midi/Minuit”, a selection spotlighting artists to watch in French rap.

Konieur doesn’t do things by halves. When Midi/Minuit asks him to define his music, the artist sums it up in two words: “brutal and danceable.” A phrase that perfectly captures the world he is building: hard-hitting production, immediate energy and tracks designed as much for spitting bars as for getting people moving.

Before moving closer to trap, Konieur says he started out with drill. Tracks like “Muchachos” and “Allo” mark, in his view, a shift in his artistic direction and better represent the sound he wants to stand for today.

His inspiration comes directly from an era that Therapy’s night aims to celebrate. Konieur says he grew up during the golden age of trap in France, naming Niska, Gradur and XVBarbar among the artists who influenced him. He draws on some of that generation’s codes while seeking, in his own words, to put his own spin on them.

That is exactly what makes his presence such a natural fit for this Therapy edition.

Konieur isn’t just here to celebrate the trap of 2015. He’s one of the artists looking to give it a new face in 2026.

His visual world also plays a part in this identity. Masked in many of his appearances and visuals, the rapper has built an instantly recognizable silhouette—dark and mysterious—that perfectly complements the raw energy of his music.

The artist’s stated goal for 2026 is clear: reach a wider audience and make a name for himself among the artists who matter. His place at the top of the bill for this Therapy night at YOYO therefore marks a new step in his rise.

Konieur celebrates the release of his debut project “VOILA”

And November 13 is no coincidence.

On Friday, November 13, Konieur is also announcing the release of his debut project, “VOILA.”

Just a few hours after its release, the artist will be able to celebrate this new milestone with his audience at the Palais de Tokyo.

A debut project, a night dedicated to the musical world that influenced him, and YOYO packed for the occasion: it’s hard to imagine a better setting to present this new chapter in his career.

VOILA drops on November 13. And that same night, it’s time to celebrate at Therapy.

It’s also a way to turn the night into a true celebration of the new generation: we’ll be there to hear the tracks that shaped trap for over a decade, as well as witness the emergence of artists who could help write its next chapter.

MKNEAL, Drozzy, Kayefuru and Moya Vibes behind the decks

To join Konieur and take us through more than ten years of trap, Therapy is bringing together several DJs to turn up the heat at YOYO.

MKNEAL, Drozzy, Kayefuru and Moya Vibes will be joining forces for a line-up focused mainly on US rap and French rap, with Konieur hosting the night.

The goal isn’t simply to play one track after another.

Across its different editions, Therapy has built a world where music meets dance, fashion and rap culture in the broadest sense. This approach also explains the natural connection between the collective and Project X Paris.

Here, music is made to be experienced physically.

What is trap?

To understand why Therapy can now announce its intention to “bring trap back into fashion,” we need to go back to the movement’s origins.

Trap is a hip-hop subgenre born in the southern United States, and is particularly associated with Atlanta. Its roots date back to the 1990s, before a generation of artists like T.I., Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy helped bring it into the mainstream during the 2000s.

Musically, trap has an instantly recognizable identity: massive 808 bass, heavy kicks, rapid hi-hat rolls, often dark synth layers and high-energy rhythms.

In the 2010s, the genre reached a whole new scale.

Artists like Future, Young Thug, Travis Scott and 21 Savage evolved its codes and helped turn trap into one of the dominant languages of contemporary rap.

But trap quickly became more than just a style of music production.

It established an aesthetic, a way of rapping, imagery, music videos, attitudes and a particular relationship with fashion. The connection between trap and streetwear feels almost natural: the two worlds evolve together and influence each other.

That’s also why a night dedicated to trap fits so well within the Therapy x Project X Paris universe.

How did trap make its mark in France?

In France, the major turning point came in the early 2010s.

Several artists began incorporating the new sounds coming from the southern United States, but one project in particular would leave its mark on the recent history of French rap: Kaaris’s “Or Noir,” released in 2013.

Powerful production, ultra-prominent bass, aggressive flows, iconic catchphrases and an instantly recognizable aesthetic: with tracks like “Zoo,” Kaaris helped bring trap to a much wider audience.

What followed came quickly.

By the mid-2010s, a whole generation had taken these new codes and made them their own. French trap became richer, more diverse and sometimes more melodic, without losing the power behind its success.

This is exactly the period Therapy has chosen as the starting point for its musical journey from 2015 to 2026.

Who are the iconic figures of trap in France?

It’s impossible to tell the story of French trap without starting with Kaaris.

With Or Noir, the rapper from Sevran released one of the albums that did the most to fuel the genre’s rise in France. More than a decade after its release, its influence can still be felt in the work of many artists.

Booba also played an important role in this transition. Always attentive to developments in American rap, he quickly adopted several trap codes in the early 2010s. His collaboration with Kaaris on “Kalash” is part of this pivotal period.

Then came the mid-2010s explosion.

Gradur brought his energy with L’Homme au Bob. SCH arrived with the dark, cinematic world of A7. Niska developed an identity where the power of trap production meets a more danceable energy and instantly recognizable catchphrases.

Other artists like PNL, Damso and Shay also helped evolve the sounds of French-language rap during this period, although they can’t be confined to the trap label alone.

Trap never really disappeared after that. It blended with drill, jersey, cloud rap and new forms of electronic rap before regularly returning to the spotlight.

And in 2026, a new generation seems ready to pick up the torch.

Konieur is one of those claiming this legacy while looking to write what comes next.

Therapy x Project X Paris: when trap and streetwear speak the same language

It’s impossible to talk about this new Therapy night without talking about clothes, too.

Across several events, Therapy and Project X Paris have built a shared world at the crossroads of music, nightlife, dance and streetwear.

This connection has taken shape in particular with the THERAPY x PROJECT X PARIS camouflage zip hoodie, a piece designed where the two identities meet.

And the collaboration is still going strong.

For the promotional campaign for this new night, the Therapy x PXP camo hoodie is once again in the spotlight in videos shared on Therapy’s social media channels.

Camouflage, a streetwear fit, and the Therapy and PXP identities brought together: the piece perfectly complements the aesthetic of this new night dedicated to trap.

The THERAPY x PXP zip hoodie is available now at Project X Paris. Shop yours now.

See you on November 13, 2026: we’re bringing trap back into fashion

Yesterday’s trap. Today’s trap. And maybe already tomorrow’s.

On Friday, November 13, 2026, Therapy, Konieur and Project X Paris will bring generations together at YOYO – Palais de Tokyo for a night where the classics of 2015 meet the new sounds of 2026.

A date that will be especially meaningful for Konieur with the release of his debut project, “VOILA,” and another opportunity for Therapy and PXP to bring together the worlds that bring their community to life: rap, streetwear, dance and urban culture.

More than ten years after trap exploded in France, the energy is still there.

On November 13, Therapy isn’t celebrating the past. The night aims to show that trap still has a lot to say.

BRING TRAP BACK INTO FASHION.
