Entraînement feels like Jul has pressed record right in the middle of his daily warm-up: a burst of machine-gun “ra-ta-ta” syllables, a quick stretch of punchlines, then straight into the ring. Over swirling beats he jumps from flashy outfits to Marseille street corners, from airplane smoke to studio all-nighters, showing how his life is a nonstop circuit of trials, rhythm, and hustle. The title means training, and that is exactly the mood – Jul is constantly fine-tuning his flow, his body, and his mindset while shrugging off gossip, fake friends, and the pressure that comes with fame.
Under the bravado sits a heart that beats for real things: family, loyal friends, his lifelong love, and his city. He reminds listeners to help a friend who is “super mal,” steer clear of toxic crowds, and stay honest even when money arrives. Independence is everything – he records without a manager, keeps his style “pas les cain-ris,” and still finds time to protest France’s retirement reform at 64. The overall message: keep training, keep your circle tight, and face each new day like another round you fully intend to win.
