Imagine a modern Parisian housing estate where Romeo lives on the ground floor of building 3 and Juliette on the top floor across the street. They are 16, in love at first sight, and rain-soaked kisses become their secret kingdom. In Grand Corps Malade’s slam, Roméo Kiffe Juliette twists Shakespeare’s classic into a gritty urban romance: not a feud between noble families, but a clash between a Muslim household and a Jewish one. Parents slam doors, so the teens open cinemas, friends’ couches and even metro cars to keep their love alive.
The track is a rhythmic plea for tolerance, bravery and open minds. Instead of poison and tragedy, these lovers rewrite the script by running away together, proving that love can outsmart storms, gossip and old rules. With witty wordplay and vivid street scenes, Grand Corps Malade celebrates young hearts that break the mould and dream of a future where the weather, religion or tradition never decide who has the right to kiss.
