Shownotes

Luke French is a rapper and songwriter out of Westville, Nova Scotia

Now residing in Halifax. Influenced by both new and old-school artists like Griselda, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem, French began his career in 2020 after releasing his mixtape “1624”, which earned praise from Griselda producer Camoflauge Monk for his production work. Luke's most recent project with fellow collaborators C-Stone Léon and GhostBoyRJ is titled “Tokyo Sayonara” and is currently out on all platforms.

French gained some momentum within Halifax after shows at local venues, and the release of his solo project “Forever Hold Your Piece”, a more introspective project fully produced by Virginia's own Sypooda. With funky vibes like “Acrylic Green” and gritty underground sounds like “Raw talk”, Forever Hold Your Piece” was nominated for Nova Scotia Music Week's 2025 Hip-Hop Album of the Year.

Luke's catalogue has something for every fan of Hip-Hop, especially when collaborating with other artists from the Director Collective like Emerson Corleone, Suplo, and C-Stone Léon.

Director just released a Christmas-inspired mixtape titled “IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE” available on all platforms.
