Unghetto Mathieu, born Mathieu Faubourg, came up in Montreal. He started writing and rapping around 2005, taking on a stage name that pointed toward leaving a troubled past behind. His lyrics tended to be raw, drawn from his own experiences.
His song 'Gang Up' came out in 2010 and got some real attention. The track had a message about unity that connected with listeners. Around 2012, some critics accused his music of promoting violence, which he denied, saying he was just describing street realities.
He's worked with other artists like Havoc. The music kept going from there, grounded in where he started.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
