404Billy

404Billy, real name Benjamin Saunier, is a rapper and singer-songwriter of French-Senegalese origin, born on January 11, 1995 in Seine-Maritime. He grew up in Villiers-le-Bel in the Val-d'Oise, where he developed a passion for rap as a teenager, influenced by the likes of 50 Cent, Tupac, Lunatic and Sinik. He adopted the pseudonym 404Billy at the age of 17, in reference to the 404 error and the Billy the Kid character. Revealed in 2017 by his freestyles "Error" and the track "Le Kid est mort", he was noticed by Damso, who invited him to open for him on his tour. He followed this up with the projects Hostile (2018), Process (2019), Supernova (2019), 21Visions (2020) and 100 (2021). From 2022 to 2024, he publishes the BLKKKK VAN GOGH trilogy and founds his independent label Kidvillain Records. In January 2025, he released the album SAMO, marked by an introspective and radical artistic direction. 404Billy has collaborated with Damso, PLK and Guy2Bezbar. His style blends boom-bap, dark trap and technical rhymes. His writing is raw, influenced by real-life experience and the rap heritage of the 2000s.
