>stuff.

To all you people who love listening to French hip-hop, even though you may
not understand the lyrics, you should definetly check out some Japanese
hip-hop as alot of it is as phat as hell! (Ben List will vouch for this!)
For those of you who are really keen and don't mind accents peep some Oz
hip-hop! :-)

>Soon-e-mc who is featured on Solaar's Qui Seme...

Erm.... Where? (He is down with Solaar, but as far as I know didn't appear
on "Qui Seme..") I just checked the notes for the disc, but only saw his
name in the dedications. More likely that he was on "Prose Combat", along
with the rest of France, in that "posse track".

>has his own release
>Can't remember the name but it was phaaaatt! It's also old so I am wondering
>whether he hasn't followed up?

Yep. Soon E MC now has two albums (his latest released last year.) All I
can say is that if you really dug Soon E MC branch further into the French
scene as many think this is one of weaker available albums (of course this
is all opinion...) If you want to know the names of both albums do a CD
search on cdeurope.com (and no people! I don't work for cdeurope!!)

>Also check out FABE who, as does everything else i've heard from
>France, has a very jazz like feel to his songs.

Not to mention the French music media, including Nova mag I believe, gave
this alot of props!!! Does anyone know of the E.P. from GilbR (one of the
Nova D.J.s.) I heard it was due out this month. 411 anyone? Reviews and
the like....
