Ziak

Ziak is a mysterious and compelling force in the French rap scene, born in July 1997 in Évry, Essonne. He burst onto the music scene in 2020 with a style that immediately set him apart—dark, aggressive beats inspired by UK drill, paired with intense lyrics rooted in street reality. Always masked and intensely private, Ziak has built his persona around anonymity, allowing his music to speak louder than his image.

In 2021, he dropped his debut album Akimbo, which quickly made waves across France. The project, driven by hits like “Fixette” (certified diamond) and “Galerie,” earned a platinum certification and firmly established him as a rising star. Ziak followed up in 2023 with Chrome, featuring tracks like “Même pas un grincement” and “Pistol & Zamal,” showing he had no plans of slowing down.

By early 2025, he returned with Essonne History X, a raw and reflective album that nods to his roots while pushing his sound even further. Known for his minimal but impactful collaborations, Ziak has worked with notable names like Maes, Kerchak, and Kaaris.

Whether performing live or appearing in music videos, Ziak sticks to his stark aesthetic—often presented in high-contrast black-and-white visuals that echo his raw lyrical tone. Rarely giving interviews or public appearances, he maintains an air of mystique that keeps fans intrigued.
