Nèg' Marrons is a French hip hop group known for their blend of rap, reggae, and dancehall influences. Formed in the mid-1990s, the group features members Jacky and Ben-J, and is associated with the influential Secteur Ä collective—a key force in the golden era of French rap. The duo gained recognition with their debut album “Rue Case Nègres” in 1997, which included hits like “Tout le monde debout” and showcased their ability to infuse socially conscious lyrics with infectious Caribbean rhythms.
Over the years, Nèg' Marrons have built a solid career with a number of albums that balance street-smart rhymes, political awareness, and party-ready beats. They're known for songs like “Le Bilan” and “Lève-toi, bats-toi,” which reflect on identity, struggle, and unity. Their mix of reggae grooves and sharp lyricism has earned them a lasting place in the French urban music scene, and their collaborative spirit continues to influence the genre.
