DJ Cam

The Beat Assassinated

Inflammable/Globetrotter/Sony

Now there is hip hop that you can take home to mother. DJ Cam demonstrates the skills (and maybe even the looks) that will carry him far from obscurity with his ultra-cool, adult contemporary (maybe even elevator-friendly) hip hop. Now there emerges some French musical talent that even makes New York sit up and take notice. Channel Live participation comes fresh out from under KRS One’s protective wing,, supplemented by equally moving contributions by anglo Silvah Bullet, anglo-franco Otis and the franco rap of Dadou from KDD. Now good taste, style and alluring rhythms have penetrated the depths of the dark ghetto soul which delivers a whole new twist en francais. Guaranteed to piss off purists.
