La Fève continues his comeback with 2026
After FINIS-LES, La Fève hands the direction of 2026 to Rayan Rey and HENRY for a video in which power and high society meet a distorted reality.

After a quiet 2025 with no new releases, La Fève teased what was coming by wiping his social media accounts and leaving behind a single date: 2026. A few months later, FINIS-LES marked his return. Now the rapper unveils 2026, with a video directed by Rayan Rey and produced by HENRY.
Active since the mid-2010s, La Fève first made a name for himself with Les Nocturnes, before developing the Empty The Bine mixtape series and releasing his debut album in 2023. His rap, shaped in large part by trap and the American scene, has always come paired with a visual identity in which fashion plays an ever-growing role. For 2026, Rey leans into that world, blending the codes of rap videos with luxury and fashion imagery. The film unfolds as a series of self-contained scenes, held together by a shared mood and by La Fève's presence throughout.
"The video came out of a mix of very cinematic references: The Devil's Advocate for the sweeping fresco, 2001 for the architectural spaces, and American Psycho and Inception for the tension and certain sensations. The real challenge was pulling all of that together into something that truly felt like La Fève," said Rey.

We see him stretched out on the ledge of an impassive skyscraper staring into the camera, in the middle of a glamorous banquet, or walking against a crowd of passersby under rain that falls upward. Other scenes put him in front of an animated fresco, on a glowing floor, or surrounded by rats. In each of these settings, La Fève stays at the center of the frame without really playing a character. The director focuses on his presence and lip-syncing while the sets and surroundings keep shifting around him.
The cinematography draws on a cold, desaturated palette and moody lighting, with close attention to textures, silhouettes, and reflections. The film also brings in a range of visual techniques, including thermal imaging, X-ray shots, 3D scanning, slow motion, optical distortion, and digitally multiplied versions of La Fève's silhouette.
"The challenge was striking a balance between sets and materials that felt real and tangible, and VFX that build up the world without ever betraying it: keeping the pacing tight, letting certain shots breathe, and never losing the artist in the middle of it all," said Rayan Rey, director.
