About

The artist

Alaclair Ensemble is a Quebec hip-hop collective formed in 2010 and currently composed of Eman, KNLO, Robert Nelson, Claude Bégin, and producer Vlooper. The group combines sharp rap technique with electronic production, Quebec cultural references, satire, and deliberately skewed historical mythology. Its catalog runs from 4,99 through Les frères cueilleurs, Le sens des paroles, America, Vol. 2, and LAIT PATERNEL, alongside mixtapes, EPs, and singles. Alaclair won ADISQ awards for Rap Album of the Year and Video of the Year in 2019. A dense run of Quebec performances in 2025 and 2026 confirms the collective remains an active live act.
