"I never been into rap thing. I mean all those gold rings, necklace and stuff like that. But Assassin comes back to the roots of Hip-Hop. Their songs are full of little details, rythm and lyrics that catch your attention. They're totaly against the "rap cliché" and all this kind of stuff. They speak about the difference between the rich and the poor, the police abuse, racism, they also give their point of view but most of it they give solutions ! And for me it's the most important thing about a hip-hop album. Rockin'squat (the singer) knows how to use his pen and he plays with the words like you'll do with a playstation ...In one word, BRILLIANT"

The revelation!

"I love rap, and this album is really a revelation for me! It's a friend recommend it to me, he speaks French and said that the lyrics are very good. Assassin speak about their social condition, of violence and how to leave this. It changes about sex dol & gun of american rap. The sound is very good! I discover the French rap and I love! Buy it!"

"If you think that only the US RAP exist you're wrong, this production is one of the best of the moment. The crew 'assassin' exist in the rap since 10 years, and they are always in the underground. This disc is excelent, if you like rap this is the first french album you have to have. The france is the second land after the usa to have the biggest production of rap."
