Abstract
ABSTRACT Black M, a French hip-hop artist of Guinean origin, delves into race and belonging in his 2016 song “Je suis chez moi” (“I Am at Home”). The track responds to a far-right campaign that opposed his participation in the centenary celebration of the Battle of Verdun, claiming he didn’t represent France. The song contrasts his sense of belonging in France with a longing for Guinea, reflecting the complexities of his immigrant identity. This article analyzes how Black M’s music navigates themes of race, belonging, and national identity, using hip-hop as a tool for these articulations.
