The Sound of Old School Rap Français

“The Sound of Old School Rap Français” is a journey into the golden era of 90s and early 2000s French hip-hop—a time when gritty lyricism, jazz-infused beats, and socially conscious bars defined the scene. This playlist collects tracks from essential collectives and solo acts like IAM, Lunatic, Fonky Family, Suprême NTM, and La Cliqua, showcasing the early days of rhyme in the banlieues and the boom-bap sounds that shaped the identity of French rap.

From the conscious energy of Les Sages Poètes de la Rue and the streetwise poetry of Oxmo Puccino, to heavyweight collabs like “Sacrifice de poulets” by Ministère A.M.E.R. or “Bad Boys de Marseille, Pt. 2” by Akhenaton and Fonky Family, these tracks blend raw perspective with underground attitude. Whether it’s the funk of “Je danse le Mia” or the dense lyricism of Assassin’s “Undaground Connexion”, the playlist maps out the foundations of French rap culture, one track at a time.
