They dare do anything as a person, and it works. But beyond the lyrics and sounds of planing that appeal, the recipe for the success of NLP is primarily based on a marketing plan in place, a communication millimétrée and consummate art of the teaser.

NLP (for «Peace N Coiled»: peace and notes), it is three letters, two brothers. Ademo and N. O. S, respectively, Tarik Nabil Andrieu from the city of Tarterêts Corbeil-Essonnes. The duo has managed to impose in the middle of the French rap in breaking the codes of the classic communication and surjouant discretion. But then, what is the recipe of NLP mania, sometimes a little too excessive?

Disney’s Scarface

listen, nothing transcendent, a voice systematically in the vocoder (voice synthesizer that replaces the real voice). Ademo said himself, «I’m not a rapper, without the vocoder, I am slammed» in its title Mowgli . On paper, nothing distinguishes them from the French rapper lambda. The themes are the same: the galley, the daily lives of drug dealers, the desire of escape…

Their inspiration, the least we can say, confusing. But NLP has managed to create a real universe while remaining true to himself. In particular, with references ranging from Disney with their song Mowgli , or even Simba from the Lion King in the universe of the manga with GTO and Dragon Ball Z not to mention the allusions to Tony Montana in Scarface and the infamous «no but hello what» Nabilla. A cocktail of explosive references to all-round to the delight of their fans, like it or not.

rappers, storytellers

What stands out, above all, it is the art of the storytelling that they do with accuracy. The duo has turned a corner, throwing in the script of their own history. The trilogy of clips from Naha-Onizuka-Bene is akin to a series of short films of 8, 12 and 16 minutes. A way for the group to cultivate their taste for the stage. With their clips, they explore a visual universe that would almost catch up with the music itself. After having shot several in their city respective, Ademo and N. O. S play the globe-trotters. Destination Mexico, Japan, Italy, Iceland, the scenery still more impressive and still more worked.

At a time when rappers appear daily on the social networks and communicate on the slightest novelty to come, PNL wants to be mysterious. Ademo and N. O. S appear very seldom in the media. A marketing rule of all who live in their fans some excitement at each new occurrence. In 2016, only the american magazine The Fader will be able to approach the elusive brothers. But the interview is short. Instead of responding to the questions, NLP boot key and says that «everything is in the music». And the lyrics, then?
