Rap Monde & Rap Styles – Global Sounds

At a time when rap is global yet deeply rooted in local scenes, these two books offer a clear way to navigate its complexity. From Chicago and Atlanta to London, Paris, and Marseille, rap continues to evolve through cities, sounds, and cultural exchanges that shape contemporary music worldwide.

Published by Combo Éditions within the Music Talk collection, conceived by Guillaume Le Goff as an accessible overview of today’s music, Rap Monde and Rap Styles explore both the geography and the aesthetics of contemporary rap. Written by journalist and filmmaker Cyprien Joly, the books map key scenes, styles, and movements, offering clear tools to understand how rap circulates and evolves across contexts.

The event will take the form of a book signing with Cyprien Joly, an informal moment to meet the author and explore these publications in close connection with the bookstore.
