Get Your Own! | View Slideshowduring my stay in paris from end of 1987 until mid 1990 i have witnessed the french rap revolution.france was the first country to not rap in english.i have met solo from the later assassin and wanted to produce music with him.i brought a tascam half-inch 8 track machine to paris and we started to do beats.i programmed drummachines,played guitar/ bass and engineered/mixed while he scratched records.we didnt use a sampler until 1990! all samples that you hear in these songs came from 2 turntables! soon a collective of people that wanted to record demos gathered around us.solos longtime partners mc squat+flydee were to become assassin.and original b-boy joeystar wanted to record his authentique, the very first ntm track! all these tracks were tracked on tascam and mixed down to ferro cassettes.all together around 6hours of demo material and radioshows have been recorded in that period! by mid 1988 assassin and i were invited by gee street london to record some demos.the engineers for these two tracks were rob and nik from the stereo mcs!! around the same time joeystar teamed up with koolshen and dj s to form supreme ntm. they were ready for their first liveshow.labelle noir was shopping the top rap/ragga artists to bring out the first french rap compilation. i coproduced and mixed two songs on this, one for assassin and one for supreme ntm.intensive demoing with ntm led to a record contract with emi france in 1990.assassin have since then been independent and maintained their own label.i went back to my hometown, happy but brokeass;-) i got an offer i couldnt refuse
