Disques 7ieme Ciel
Surprise! For the holiday season, Koriass has written and composed a Christmas single to thank you for all the love you send to him all year long. Treat yourselves and happy holidays to all of you! Produced in 2013, this song was released on Soundclound only. It is with the intention of reaching a wider audience that we want to release this Christmas song again but on all platforms. Fascinated by rap from his teenage years, Koriass did not reach the age of majority when he made his stage debut. Recruited in 2008 by Les Disques 7ieme Ciel, he then devoted himself to producing his first real album, Les racines dans le beton, followed by Petites Victoires (2011), which was on the Canadian best-seller list when it was released. Returning in force in November 2013, Koriass presents Rue des Saules, which aptly demonstrates the extent of his talent and allows him to win the Felix for Hip-Hop Album of the Year in the fall of 2014. At the end of 2015, the rapper launches without warning a 5-track digital EP - Petit Love - as a preamble to the album Love Supreme, which will be released in February of the following year. Love Supreme will add numerous awards and nominations to his track record, as he receives the Felix award for Hip-Hop Album of the Year at L'ADISQ - in addition to 8 nominations for record and show - the GAMIQ Artist of the Year award as well as a JUNO Award nomination in the category of Francophone Album of the Year. Considered one of the leaders in Quebec rap, Koriass will be the first rapper to be nominated in the prestigious category of Male Performer of the Year at the 2017 ADISQ Gala. In the fall of 2018, Koriass returns in force with La Nuit des Longs Couteaux, a powerful new album that combines the melodies of his songs with his trademark scathing lyrics. The album will be released in September 2018 with two sold-out shows at Imperial Bell (Quebec) and MTELUS (Montreal). La Nuit des Longs Couteaux gave birth to the song Cinq a sept, an excerpt that climbed to 26th place in the Top100 BDS. In 2019, Koriass dominates the ADISQ nominations with seven mentions, including Album of the Year - Rap, Songwriter or Composer of the Year, Video of the Year (Cinq a sept), Cover Art of the Year, Sound Recording and Mixing of the Year, Record Production of the Year, and Sound Recording of the Year. He also received a new JUNOS nomination for Francophone Album of the Year. He returns today with a new project "Genies en Herbe" in collaboration with the Quebec rapper FouKi with whom he has already collaborated several times.
