Fatboi Sharif bends hardcore rap into something surreal and cinematic: dense with imagery, distorted by mood. Watch the avantgarde hip-hop artist's performance at Le Guess Who? 2025 via our concert film.
Expect vivid storytelling, guttural delivery and production that feels scorched, spectral and strangely hypnotic. Sharif’s performances carry an illuminating intensity, blurring the line between the real and the unreal.
