DTF

DTF is a French rap duo blending introspective lyrics, cinematic visuals, and a melancholic cloud rap sound rooted in street realism. Formed in 2015 by childhood friends RKM and RTI in Ivry-sur-Seine’s now-demolished Cité Gagarine, they rose quickly under QLF Records, the label founded by PNL. Their breakout track “Les Princes” went viral, now counting over 20 million views. With five studio albums, including three platinum (La Hass avant le Bonheur, Sans Rêve, On Ira Où ?) and two gold (Double Star in 2021 and Karma in 2023), DTF has crafted a dreamy, emotional discography shaped by French rap, Latin rhythms (Me Gusta), house (Black Moon), and Japanese anime. They also direct their own visually stunning music videos, like “Dans la ville” and “Veni Qui,” praised for their storytelling and unique aesthetic. Following sold-out tours and a rare TV appearance on Clique, DTF is preparing their most ambitious project yet for 2026. With over 250 million YouTube views and a cult following, their emotional, genre-blending sound continues to expand the boundaries of French rap.
