Paris-born artist, producer, and creative force MANSO̶U̶R̶ isn’t here to pad your playlists—he’s here to slice straight through them. His new double A-side, NEAT kUT, is exactly what it says on the tin: two tracks, zero fat, and enough personality to keep both the dance floor and your headphones working overtime.
The opener, “WHY NOT” — co-produced with MOOKICE and featuring REEM and 00ab — is an irresistible, glitchy 2-step rush. It’s all shimmering percussion, kinetic bass lines, and bar-for-bar chemistry, the kind of track that feels like sprinting through Paris at 3 a.m., neon reflections blurring in puddles while you text your crew to find the next move. The video doubles down on that energy—DIY but dripping with style—as MANSO̶U̶R̶ and 00ab bounce around the city with REEM dropping in via FaceTime like a conspirator in this sonic joyride.
Flip the record and “PARIS!” slows things down without losing the edge. Co-produced by Lamsi and featuring Rxlls, it’s a late-night reflection—minimal beats, glassy synths, and keys that hang in the air like cigarette smoke. Where “WHY NOT” thrives on impulse, “PARIS!” trades in vulnerability, giving Rxlls space to pull you closer with every line. Together, they form a perfectly calibrated double shot: one to get you moving, one to make you linger.
This isn’t just another drop from a buzzed-about newcomer. With co-signs from BXKS, Len, Sam Wise, El Londo, Oscar #Worldpeace, and Odunsi (The Engine), plus a résumé that weaves through NIKE, ADIDAS, and Jean Paul Gaultier, MANSO̶U̶R̶ sits comfortably at the crossroads of serious music, fashion culture, and community energy. His instinctive, unfiltered approach feels refreshing in a scene often obsessed with overproduction.
In his own words, the goal was simple: “Clean, sharp, honest.” NEAT kUT delivers exactly that—proof that sometimes the sharpest statement is the one that knows when to stop talking.
