The bilingual rapper, who often jumps between French and English in his songs, took to his Instagram to announce the release of his newest single as well as his upcoming mixtape posting the cover art which sees french standing next to a black BMW with a black rottweiler.  As well as posting the cover art, French posted a caption alongside the photos, explaining the importance of his upcoming project and how hard he has worked on it. The caption read “Make It Out. OUT NOW ON ALL PLATFORMS.  I’m announcing the upcoming release of my debut mixtape ‘NEVER BEEN ORDINARY’ . This project is really special to me. A collection of tracks i’ve been working on from 2020 till now. Gonna give you lot a good idea of where i’m at musically. Thank you for all the support, the streams, the messages, the love in public. Means everything. Hopefully the title makes sense once you get to end. NEVER BEEN ORDINARY available now for pre-order. See link in bio!”

Having only released his newest single “Make It Out” on his own channel 5 days ago the track already sits on just under 400 thousand views and just under 3000 thousand streams on Spotify.

French the kid who grew up in Essex as well as France, that being the reasoning behind his name and bilingual music. French has been releasing music since 2019, with his first official track being “Bella Latina” which the young rapper released on Link-Up TV and currently sits on 1.9 million views. French continued dropping tracks on platforms such as GRM Daily and Link-Up TV as he was able to showcase his talents and his ability to move between sounds and genres, with tracks where the Essex native is just rapping as well as tracks where he goes for a more melodic approach. As French began racking up millions of views on these platforms, he made the decision to move over to his own channel, allowing the rapper to fully profit from his work and videos. This had no detriment to French, with his channel currently sitting on 88,0000 subscribers and a combined 24 million views on the 6 tracks he has dropped on his channel in the last 11 months.

French’s debut project Never Been Ordinary will be released on the 1st of April and is available to preorder here.
