Népal (rapper)

Clément Enzo Florian di Fiore (12 October 1990 – 9 November 2019), better known by his stage name  Népal, was a French record producer and rapper. He was also known as KLM and GrandMaster Splinter. A co-founding member of the collective 75e Session, he produced their EP 16par16 in 2014. He also formed with Doums the duo 2Fingz. He was also close to the collective L'Entourage, to the band 1995 and the project Les Gars Laxistes. Népal attached great importance to remain anonymous, covering his face with a hood, a mask, or even with make up.

Népal died on 9 November 2019. He was 29. The announcement came after 11 days on social networks on 20 November 2019 including the posthumous release of his album Adios Bahamas that he had just completed recording. The actual circumstances of his death are not clear, but many believe he committed suicide.

In December 2019, a graffiti work was launched as a tribute to his work by the collective 75e Session and the musical project Les Gars Laxistes. using the cover of the album Adios Bahamas, it was placed on Rue des Thermopyles in the 14e arrondissement of Paris, the suburb where he grew.

Posthumously, on 5 September 2020, the video "Sundance' was released, featuring rapper Nekfeu portraying a version of himself that would have missed out on success, directed by Syrine Boulanouar and produced by 75e Session, based on an idea expressed by Népal just prior to his demise. Between 28 September and 2 October 2020, artists close to him released five unpublished videos by Népal debut in Lyon.
