>scroll down for English version< Au début des années 2000, Vle était un graffeur qui aimait davantage créer des personnages plutôt que de simples lettres. Ses personnages étaient très reconnaissables, non seulement grâce au style cartoon mais aussi parce qu’ils « parlaient » français. Tous les graffeurs de Belgrade n’écoutaient pas forcément de Hip Hop à cette période, ils étaient souvent plus intéressés par la musique électronique ou même punk, mais Vle était connu pour apprécier le Hip Hop français. C’est pourquoi il dessinait souvent des bulles remplies de mots français aléatoires près de ses personnages. Il a cependant admis ne pas être en mesure de totalement comprendre l’argot utilisés dans les rimes des chanteurs français mais cela ne l’empêchait pas d’apprécier la musique. At the beginning of the 2000s, Vle was one of the graffiti writers who was more interested in creating characters than in designing letters. His characters were very recognisable, not only because they were cartoon-like, but also because they "spoke" French. Not all graffiti writers in Belgrade listened to Hip Hop at the time. Quite often they were more interested in electronic music or even in punk. But Vle was known as one of the artists that was very much into French Hip Hop. Therefore, he often created speech balloons next to his characters and filled them in with random French words. By his admission, he was not able to completely understand the language used in the rhymes of French performers but that did not stop him from enjoying the music and the context.
