D’ de Kabal: Rap, resilience and destructuring masculinities

Posted on

Rapper, slam poet, author, director, and now trainer, D’ de Kabal has been working on masculinities and sexual violence since 2015.

A leading figure in conscious rap of the 90s , D’ de Kabal now offers training for cisgender men, both individuals and professionals, to combat sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and learn to detect micro-aggressions. The goal? Deconstruct the mechanisms of domination to be more at peace in relationships with others and with oneself.

In this context, he continues to use rap as a tool  to challenge preconceived ideas and demonstrate that this music can also serve an anti-sexist discourse.

To find out more about D’ de Kabal, listen to his album Antimasculiniste (2023) or, for those who know French, read his book Ma honte, autobiographie d’un enfant violé (Au diable vauvert, 2025).
