Younès Latifi (Arabic: يونس لطيفي; French pronunciation: [junɛs latiˈfi]; born 5 February 1984), better known by his stage name Mister You (French pronunciation: [mis.tœʁˈju]), is a French rapper known for his freestyles.

Career

Born in Paris of Moroccan descent, he was raised in the Belleville area of the capital. He lived in the south of France trying to make a career in music.[1] His first official album was in December 2009 entitled Présumé coupable (meaning Presumed guilty).[1] When in 2009, the French police issued a warrant for assistance in his arrest, he gave an interview in October 2009 daring them to stop him. He accompanied that with a defiant underground indie album entitled Arrête You si tu peux (meaning Catch You if you can in French).[2]

Mister You has released new materials including mixtape and street album M.D.R. (or Mec De Rue) that incorporated cooperations with various rappers like Bruler & LaCrim, Tunisiano, Zesau and others and was released on 25 October 2010. It proved to be his biggest commercial success reaching #9 on the official French Albums Chart. Based on that success, he released a music video for "Les p'tits de chez moi", in duo with Mimma Mendhy.[3]

ON 31 October 2011, Mister You has released his third album "Dans ma grotte". The first single from the album was "Mets-toi à l'aise" featuring Colonel Reyel followed by "J'regarde en l'air".
