Younes Latifi (French pronunciation: [junɛs latiˈfi]; Arabic: يونس لطيفي; born 5 February 1984), better known by his stage name Mister You, is a French rapper of Moroccan descent known for his freestyles.

Career

[edit]

Born in Paris, he was raised in the Belleville area of the capital city. He lived in the south of France trying to make a career in music.[1] His first official album was in December 2009 entitled Présumé coupable (meaning Presumed guilty).[1] When in 2009, the French police issued a warrant for assistance in his arrest, he gave an interview in October 2009 daring them to stop him. He accompanied that with a defiant underground indie album entitled Arrête You si tu peux (meaning Catch You if you can in French).[2]

Mister You has released new materials including mixtape and street album M.D.R. (or Mec De Rue) that incorporated cooperations with various rappers like Brutus & Lacrim, Tunisiano, Zesau and others and was released on 25 October 2010. It proved to be his biggest commercial success reaching #9 on the official French Albums Chart. Based on that success, he released a music video for "Les p'tits de chez moi", in duo with Mimma Mendhy.[3]

ON 31 October 2011, Mister You has released his third album "Dans ma grotte". The first single from the album was "Mets-toi à l'aise" featuring Colonel Reyel followed by "J'regarde en l'air".
