In this issue, Mosaïque examines the current state of French rap in the face of recurring claims of creative decline. Through a curated ranking of the 20 best rap albums of 2025, the magazine challenges these narratives and highlights the records that continue to push the genre forward.
Rather than a simple list, this selection offers a critical reading of the musical directions that shaped the year, combining subjective perspectives with broader observations on the scene. It also marks the launch of a new annual format, with each December issue featuring a ranking that reflects the editorial team’s convictions.
On the cover, two artists emblematic of this renewed momentum: 32, whose irreverent approach stands out on Side B, and Ino Casablanca, one of the year’s breakout figures, whose unifying music resonated widely. Together, they embody the diversity and vitality explored throughout this issue.
