French rap's third - ok, maybe fourth - most important compilation. Hostile Records puts the spotlight on artists wanting to rage and reflect the harsh musical reality of the time. By 1996, French Hip Hop had fully embraced G-Funk without letting go of the boom bap, and this translates in this record, midway between NYC and LA. Lots of legendary groups and artists here: Arsenik, X-Men, Lunatic, 2 Bal 2 Neg, Doc Gyneco. One of the best insurgent French records, because the energy displayed is parred with the beats and the flows.
