The first ceremony of the Flames, Thursday evening at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, will celebrate the champions of rap. "It's a big step, I see it as the César of French rap," said Fifou, a key photographer for rap/r'n'b/new pop album covers in France.
The winners will be crowned after a decision by a jury and the public, which could decide for 13 categories out of 21. Nearly 135,000 people voted on the Flames' social networks.
