FouKi got the royal treatment during the 2021 ADISQ Gala, where he received his first-ever Félix Award, and it was none other than the trophy for Male Artist of the Year. In achieving this, he beat well-established competitors Pierre Lapointe, Louis-Jean Cormier, Damien Robitaille, and Vincent Vallières!
In this interview with Paroles & Musique Editor Eric Parazelli, he shares his impressions about this victory, as well as that of Connaisseur Ticaso – who won for Rap Album of the Year – and what those trophies mean for the Québec rap scene. He also explains how he developed his distinctive voice and flow, and how he cherry-picks the numerous feature proposals he’s offered.
