Lomepal

Lomepal, born Antoine Valentinelli on December 4, 1991, in Paris's 14th arrondissement and raised in the 13th, is a French rapper, singer, and producer who emerged from the same generation of Parisian rappers as Nekfeu and Alpha Wann. A childhood devoted to skateboarding was interrupted by a serious bone condition, pushing him toward music as a teenager, and he began recording under the name Jo Pump before adopting the Lomepal moniker.

His sound moves fluidly between rap, pop, and R&B, marked by melodic hooks, introspective and often melancholic lyrics, and polished, radio-friendly production, setting him apart from more straightforwardly boom-bap oriented peers. Songs like «Yeux disent», «Bécane», «1000°C», and «Trop beau» showcase his knack for blending vulnerable songwriting with catchy, accessible arrangements, helping him cross over to a broad mainstream French audience.

Lomepal has become one of the most commercially successful French-language rap and pop artists of his generation, known for tightly crafted albums, striking visual aesthetics in his music videos, and lyrics that draw on personal experience, including his difficult childhood and complicated family relationships. His work sits at the intersection of French rap's lyrical tradition and contemporary pop sensibility.
