Saian Supa Crew
It seems like such a natural progression for French hip-hop to take off--after all, there's only so many MCs out there with anything original to say or a novel way of saying it, so the flow of the rapper's patter is easily as important as what they're rapping about. French, with its cultivated smoothness, sounds beautiful and naturally flows from thought to thought; chanted over beats, the effect can be sublime--even if the listener doesn't understand a word. Though most dedicated hip-hop fans are familiar with MC Solaar, it might be the Saian Supa Crew who spread le message. The SSC are a six-man collective (three MCs, one vocalist and two vocal percussionists, wh...

Dream Warriors
Although the Dream Warriors' debut was released in 1991--the same year as De La Soul Is Dead and Definition of Sound's Love & Life--the album never received proper recognition. Mixing together jazz (the first song is "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style," which out-loops anything Us3 ever did) and pop, crossing De La's "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" sensibilities with P.M. Dawn's summery touch, and laying down one hell of a groove, the Dream Warriors stepped up to the pitch--only no one showed up to play the field. Years later the album sounds just as good as it did back then. --Randy Silver

Mc Solaar
Cinquieme As is the fifth album by the former footballer turned rapper from Villeneuve St George, MC Solaar. While thanks to Daft Punk, Modjo and Air, French music has finally made it's mark on charts across the globe, French rap still remains near impossible to export. Except, that is, for MC Solaar. Since the release of his 1991 debut album, Qui Sème Le Vent Récolte Le Tempo, he has consistently racked up international plaudits and multi-platinum sales with his swaggering beats and dexterous rhymes--despite his insistence on delivering them in his native tongue. Cinquieme As--which translates as Fifth Ace--makes plain his unique allure. Although t...
