Greg Beaudin has been part of the rap landscape in Quebec for quite some time, notably as a member of the legendary group Dead Obies and the Brown Family. In June 2022, the rapper began his solo adventure with Woah là!, a collaboration with Eman. For his first project, “Snail Kid” was greatly inspired by mythology; Tiamat, the Mesopotamian goddess of primordial waters is a central theme of the album. To achieve such an assertive and coherent project, Beaudin worked for almost five years, and we can feel it with the high quality of the different pieces. Composed of 13 songs, the album slaloms between rap, jazz and R&B. Tiamat, mon amour enjoys complex musical arrangements overflowing with subtleties, one of its strong points. Where he excels the most is when he escapes the codes of hip-hop and ventures off the beaten track. The song Pas toi encore with Les Louanges is the perfect example and is one of the best Quebec R&B titles of the year.
