404Billy

A native of Villiers-le-Bel in the Val d'Oise, 404Billy was born in 1995. Thanks to his father, he discovered and listened to a lot of music, particularly rap, and began writing his first lyrics at the age of 11. Around the age of 17, he decided to devote himself entirely to music. He chose his pseudonym in reference to Billy The Kid and because the term 404 evokes the digital universe he grew up with, as well as the name of a collective of which he is a member, and because the simple name Billy would not have been enough, in his opinion, to stand out on social networks. He really began to make a name for himself in 2017, unveiling some pretty raw freestyles that gradually federated a fanbase. His first real project, Hostile, saw the light of day in 2018. Its favorable reception brought it to the attention of Belgian rapper Damso, who asked it to support his tour. Afterwards, the two men recorded the single "RVRE" together. Thanks to the clip, he surpassed the million-view mark for the first time, and is now looking forward to the release of his second solo project, Process, in 2019. That same year, now publicly endorsed by Vald, another heavyweight in the French rap scene, he released a new album entitled Supernova, with PLK as his only guest.
