To the question "Is there life after French hip-hop?", Rocé gives us the most convincing answer today with his second album *Identité en Crescendo*. There is free jazz, and then, with Rocé, there is free rap. The second album by this mixed-heritage rapper, born to a Jewish father and a Muslim mother, is a manifesto for unbridled music, and above all for multiple identities, free from communal shackles or republican blindness.
