FridayBooba
Standing apart from the giddy weekend mood, the rapper Booba—who leads the French hip-hop scene—offers a dark Friday worldview.
There’s a unique allure to the works he creates.
This track feels like the polar opposite of the Friday exhilaration many people imagine: tense, dark French rap.

Released in November 2017, the song appears on the certified Diamond classic Trône, and it also achieved Diamond certification as a single in France.
It’s a perfect choice for those tired of generic weekend anthems, or for a night when you want to sink into a more reflective mood.

Its catchy, exhilarating beat intertwines with a breezy synth melody, conjuring the promise of an incredible weekend ahead.
What comes through in this track is a palpable sense of release from the everyday and an irrepressible anticipation for a night spent with friends.
The album featuring this song, 2023’s “Another Friday Night,” peaked at No.
5 on the UK Albums Chart.
It’s the perfect tune to kick off the weekend and push your mood to the max.
