Who is Tezz, the rookie shaking up TikTok with his FR-UK drill?
Summary
Halfway between Aulnay-sous-Bois and the streets of London, Tezz arrives with a hybrid musical proposal shaking the underground scene. His video "Déjà Vu" is making waves, and not just a little. Flow, presence, style, it’s all there — with a touch of UK drill that sharply contrasts with the current French scene.
A bicultural flow between France and England
Tezz doesn’t choose between French and English. He kicks in both languages with disarming ease, delivering sharp lines in a drilled Franglais with precision. His phrase "Even drunk I don’t get clumsy" resonates like a mantra. No marketing gimmick here, just raw experience that seeps through every bar.
An authentic first video
The "Déjà Vu" video, directed by LZFILMS, navigates between Paris and London, where his identity takes shape. No filters, no overacting: just real, him and his crew in their element. The setting is raw, the shots tight, and the production by Jersey ties it all together with a dark and precise groove. It’s drill, but not just that. It’s Tezz!
From freestyle to freestyle until the real start
Before this breakthrough, Tezz had already dropped two shots with Freestyle 1 and Freestyle 2. Promising first attempts, but "Déjà Vu" marks a clear turning point. It’s no longer about testing but laying the foundations of a style likely to export quickly. The rapper doesn’t play — he drops his business card and prints it directly on the emerging scene’s radar.
Why is everyone starting to talk about him?
Because he has the perfect cocktail: authenticity, technique, attitude, aesthetic. No need for forced buzz, TikTok takes care of it on its own. Clips of "Déjà Vu" circulate, duos react, codes are validated. Tezz connects with a generation that doesn’t need their style spoon-fed. They want the real deal. And he understood that before the others.
If you haven’t clicked on his name or watched his video yet, you’re late. But don’t worry, you’re still in time to say: "I discovered him at the start." Because Tezz smells like a big move coming. And when he explodes, you can say you were there, at the very beginning of the earthquake.
