If you don’t know them yet, it’s time to remember the name — Alaclair Ensemble. Formed in 2010, this post-rigodon bas-canadian collective brings together Eman, KNLO, Robert Nelson, Claude Bégin, and Vlooper in a singular project where rap becomes a playground for experimentation and creative freedom. Revealed early on with 4,99, the group quickly established itself as a cornerstone of Quebec hip-hop, releasing a series of landmark albums, earning major accolades (Félix Awards and GAMIQ prizes), and performing on some of the most prominent stages in Quebec and across Europe.
With Alaclair Ensemble, you’ll hear a wide spectrum of influences resonate—somewhere between conscious rap, funk-driven groove, spoken word, and a collective energy that defies categorization. Their sound draws as much from the history of hip-hop as from bas-canadian popular culture, turning each track into a sonic manifesto where irony, intelligence, and freedom of expression coexist without compromise.
Far from having said their last word, Alaclair Ensemble continues to evolve, surprise, and push boundaries through increasingly bold projects. Every release is an invitation into their expansive universe—rich in emotion, striking imagery, and messages that hit with precision. Through their lyrics and instrumentals, the group celebrates diversity, creativity, and collective identity, reminding us that their music is, above all, a space for connection, reflection, and shared enjoyment.
