For three days, all rap lovers have had only one city on their lips: Marseille.
For good reason, Friday the hyperactive Jul hit hard by swinging the compilation
13 Organized
, bringing together some fifty artists from the Marseille city, including SCH, L'Algerino, Naps or Le Rat Luciano.
Not to mention as a guest, Professor Didier Raoult (or almost), who deals chloroquine in the clip

An event album that drives the counters crazy.
The clip released on Friday is almost four million views and several titles are already at the top of the rankings of streaming platforms.
The first more than encouraging signals and an undeniable success which could be confirmed in the days to come with the first sales figures.
Placed under the aegis of the UFO,
Organized 13
should make a date in the rap compilation galaxy.
A unifying project
Everything is there for anyway.
Starting with the impressive number of rappers who responded to Jul's call.
The compilation brings together different generations (from the essential Akhenaton and Shurik'n to the promising Soso Maness) and different styles (from the very popular Soprano to the more confidential one of Kofs), like the richness of Marseille rap.
However, we would not have been against more rappers, out of fifty artists only one woman is out of
13 Organized
: Keny Arkana, thirty seconds on
Heat
.
A plethora of rappers gathered to celebrate the Phocaean city, and federated around its symbols, Notre-Dame de la Garde, the Old Port and of course OM.
It was also behind the scenes at the Vélodrome, blue jerseys on their backs, that Jul and his friends had started the project with the anthem
Bande Organized
, released in mid-August.
A video that has over 122 million views right now, and a song rated triple platinum (30 million streams) in 25 days and diamond (50 million) in 38 days.
"An absolute record in French rap," notes
Libé
.
The wave of departmental compilation
This rap compilation is reminiscent of the one worn by Fianso,
93 Empire
in 2018. The rapper had gathered the crème de la crème of Seine-Saint-Denis, around forty artists, NTM, Soolking, Kaaris or even Kalash Criminal.
The album was certified platinum.
And Essonne will also soon know its collective project with the
91 All Stars
whose first single from Ninho,
La zone,
was unveiled on October 2.
In ten days the clip has a little more than 2 million views, far from the box of
Organized Band
.
However, it is rumored that PNL could count among the artists present, enough to create the event.
But is that enough to claim the box of
13 Organized
?
