Wassup, my name is Julien Tribet aka Kicket, Iām a Paris-based content creator. Been into this rap/R&B shit for 30 years and I have no intention of retiring. Kickās Groove is the latest avatar of my lifelong love for music discovery and sharing. It comes as a monthly playlist and newsletter.
š§ Playlist š§
The playlist features 50 new songs. My favs at the moment. Hopefully, yours too. I give it a complete refresh every month, so make sure you stay up to date by adding it to your library on Spotify and Apple Music or to your favorites on Deezer, whatever your preferred streaming service is.
It reflects nuthinā but my own personal taste within the many rap and R&B subgenres and local flavors. Expect mostly Westcoast, Southern and Midwest gangsta rap + cool rap and soulful R&B from all over the place. Cause Iām the type to enjoy an obscure Bay Area slapper as much as a cuffing-season-friendly slow jam. So should you.
You will be familiar with some artists. You wonāt with most. I always seek out underdogs, hidden gems and newcomers to take your listening pleasure further than your average playlist.

š§ Newsletter š§
I send the newsletter every time I update the playlist.
I also send an additional monthly digest with cool and interesting stuff Iāve been reading, watching or listening to lately, in English and in French (my native language): articles, interviews, music videos, documentaries, podcasts, books, etc.
Subscribe and get every new edition delivered straight to your inbox. Itās free and you wonāt have to worry about missing anything!

In case you are wondering, the name āKickās Grooveā is an obvious nod to one of my all time favorite artists, DJ Quik, and his legendaryĀ āQuikās GrooveāĀ instrumental series.
