This is just a hypothesis that has never been confirmed either by his loved ones or by the relevant authorities.

On April 14, 2023, PLK released its EP '2069′. A successful comeback for one 10 best french rappers in 2023, who took the opportunity to pay tribute to Nepal and Luv Resval in the track "Demain". Several articles on the subject.

his beginnings

Népal, aka KLM, aka Grandmaster splinter, was born on November 18, 1994 in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. He died at the age of 24 in 2019 in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine. He was considered one of France's most promising artists. He had always wanted to remain anonymous. The Nepalese rapper conquered the hearts of rap fans, even if those around him didn't have the chance to get to know him better, as he left too early. Rap left its mark on his life.

The rapper always appeared on stage with a masked or made-up face, a fact underlined in his biography:

• He began his career in 2011, in working with Doums for the 75th Session. He is a member of the L'Entourage collective. He is also in the 2Fingz duo. It was during the first episode of John Doe's anonymous freestyles series.
• In 2011, he took out his first mixtape. The second released 2 years later. He then performed under the pseudonym KLM.
• In 2016French rapper Népal took part in Nekfeu's album entitled "Cyborg. This album was a real success. It made her a popular figure on the French rap scene.

On July 8, 2016, Nepal rapper released the ep 444 nightsmade up of two EP's of six tracks each. It was followed on all social networks. In fact, before his death, the artist planned to release his first album: Adios Bahamas in January 2020. I'm sure he had other projects in mind, such as live performances and other albums, which will never see the light of day following his death.

In any case, La folie des glandeurs, the duo of Népal and Doums, better known as 2fingz, and Népal's best tracks will remain engraved in the world of French music. In the arrondissement of Paris, as in other cities, these tracks will always be heard.

His anonymity

The Grandlaster splinter has always remained anonymous throughout his career. He always hid his face, under hoods for example, or behind balaclavas.

Sometimes, Nepal even used make-up. In his clips, he only appeared from behind or in the shadows. Despite this, we were able to identify his name: Clément Di Fiore. He used every possible strategy to cover his face. By doing so, even though he was circulating in another arrondissement as Clément Enzo, no one suspected that he was the famous rapper.

At the same time, his desire for anonymity applied in the media and even on social networks. In fact, he posted very few photos and messages. On his Instagram account, you can barely see his eyes.

The artists he has collaborated with are the only ones with whom he has revealed his true face, or not.. We doubt that even his neighbors in the 14th arrondissement of Paris haven't had a chance to see his true face.

His album adios bahamas, released after his death

His album, adios bahamas, was released in January 2020, 2 months after Nepal's death. This is his first album, a 12-track album. It has been online as promised. His death was officially announced by his family and friends on November 20, 2019. This artist had a glorious future ahead of him, and was one of the most promising artists of his generation. His sudden death aroused a wave of emotion among his fans.

The adios Bahamas album contains 12 previously unreleased tracks, with collaborations with Nekfeu, Sheldon, Doums and 3010. Adios Bahamas has recorded over 50,000 cumulative sales in France.

At the time of his death, his family announced what Nepal meant to them:

Clément Di Fiore was a rapper, a videographer, their inspiration, their son, their brother, their friend.

No words can express the enormous loss the family has felt. For his fans, the Nepalese rapper has left a great legacy to French rap. Publications on social networks bear witness to this.

We often find it difficult to distinguish between a singer and a rapperNépal has left his mark on the history of French rap, thanks to his music and his talent, even if he has remained anonymous on stage and in his videos. Which Grandmaster Splinter track comes to mind?

Despite his death, his name and works will always be remembered, and Nepal will always have a place in the rap world. His family and fans have even dedicated a website just for him.
