Wanani Gradi Mariadi (born November 28, 1990), better known by his stage name Gradur (French pronunciation: [ɡʁadyʁ]), is a French rapper of Congolese origin from Roubaix, Hauts-de-France. He first gained recognition from a series of freestyles called Sheguey.

He started as part of the rap band 59. Enjoying great following online, he formed his own entourage dubbed Sheguey Squad sheguey meaning "child of the street" in Congolese lingo and released his mixtape ShegueyVara in 2014 with the music video "Traction". His greatly expected debut album L'homme au Bob was released on February 23, 2015 with collaborations from Niro, Lacrim, Alonzo (from Psy4 de la Rime), Kayna Samet, Chief Keef and Migos.
