Naps

Naps has been played on NTS in shows including RAPMANIA, featured first on 6 September 2023. Songs played include La Danse Des Bandits and La Maxance.

1) Nabil Arlabelek (French pronunciation: ​[nabil aʁlabelɛk]; born 27 July 1986, Marseille), better known by the stage name Naps, is a French rapper of Algerian origin. Coming from the Air Bell suburb of Marseille, he started rapping in 2006 at the age of 15. Two years later he formed Click 11.43 with two other rappers, KOFS and Sahime. The formation had considerable following particularly with the incarcerated population in France. Naps also released his own solo materials and collaborated with many other rappers. In January 2020, Naps announced that he has stopped all artistic activity and has destroyed his gold certified album.

2) Naps is a producer from Melbourne, Australia who makes "Watery, degraded, tropical, new age" beats. He has releases on the local label //This Thing// including 2 EPs (Earthsea and 7") and a split cassette with Electric Sea Spider.

3) Naps is a Tallahassee, Florida-based, lo-fi, twee-pop band comprised of Jeremy Probst, Katryn Macko, Laura Hicks, and Ryan Stanley. They have two releases, "Floral Mattress" (2015) and "Jean Skirt Mystique" (2014). https://napsisaband.bandcamp.com/album/floral-mattress

4) naps (usually written in lowercase) is a solo project by Ithaca, New York-based musician Jason Calhoun (also known for paper armies). naps released two albums in 2015, napsounds, on Sweet Baby God Records and one hundred percent confident on Lily Tapes & Discs. The former is a collection of compact and poignant vignettes for keyboard, while the latter is a dense suite of drone and tape collage works.

Not to be confused with Austrian Psychobilly band "The naps "
