Le grand retour de Jazzy Bazz, membre éminent des collectifs L'Entourage et Grande Ville
En 2016, Jazzy Bazz sortait « P-Town », un premier album auto-produit adoubé par la critique, vendu à 15.000
exemplaires et porté par une tournée de plus de 40 dates à travers la France. Jazzy Bazz aime travailler en
famille. Il fait appel aux musiciens qui l’accompagnent sur scène (3.14 Band) pour travailler ensemble sur son
second album « Nuit », sur lequel il dénude le côté sombre de la vie, privilégie le fond autant que la forme, choisit
soigneusement ses thèmes et cisèle chaque rime avec exigence. Pour rendre la nuit plus folle, Jazzy Bazz invite
des guests de prestige Nekfeu, Alpha Wann & Esso, Bonnie Banane ou encore Sabrina Bellaouel.
A la fois, exigeant, poétique, mélodique et puissant, « Nuit » s’impose comme un album majeur de cette rentrée
2018.

Entirely produced by Kalhex (Lex, Parental and Le makizar himself), this nugget from the French scene comes with guest appearances by Milk, Coffee & Sugar, Pete Flux and Mc Grey.

Based near Nantes & just 30 years old, Dj King Flow has almost 20 years of beatmaking under his belt, with numerous trips back and forth between France and the USA. His many travels have enabled him to network with a large number of independent MCs.

Da Best Riddim Eternal Action Krew ! Here is the mission that DA BREAK has given itself for this 3rd album : To drop a new
opus of great quality, which will remain eternally engraved in the memories of Soul Music... BOOM! As simple as that! ;)
Jennifer "Hawa" Zonou & Rémy Kaprielan, founding members of the group, have decided to tighten the ranks and clarify
the content of their music: an aesthetic still anchored in their dear 90's Soul Hip Hop culture, but also with a sharpened ear,
attentive to today's world and sounds, always searching for federating grooves and warm vibes.
DA BREAK has entrusted the production of the LP to Pierre Vadon (also the band's Live keyboard player) who has already
proved the quality of his compositions and arrangements on the second album LET IT SHINE. The mission remains
unchanged: to gather, in the line of the social values defended in the 90s urban music, crib of their inspiration. Grounded,
conscious, questioning, celebrating, comforting, staying open to the world and to each other. Each song is a painting, a
story, a reflection...
Composed during an intense period on the emotional level, this album is a subtile mixture of musical influences: from the
most old school Hip Hop beat to the most contemporary flow, going from West Coast vibes to Caribbean colors. DA BREAK
IS BACK and its key word remains the same: GROOVE.

Trad Vibe records is happy and proud to present you this project as well execptional as unpublished! We are in 1994, DJ Clyde left the group Assassin and launched the 1st French Mixtapes but he sees even further and launches into the production for the 1st time since he became a hip-hop activist.

The project is also exceptional because it comes from a cassette archived by Clyde of beats sent for the album Paris Sous Les Bombes of the famous group Suprême NTM (3rd album of the group). Of course you will not find the beats released with his last but all the unselected gems that reveals the talent and the advance that Dj Clyde had taken in the production at that time! More than an instrumental album or beat tape, this project is a testimony of the history of Hip-Hop and moreover of Beatmaking in France in the 90s which was not supposed to see the day. The cover is made by the talented grafiti artist Cyril "Kongo" of the famous and historical crew of graffiti artists MAC (founded in 1986 in Montreuil).

This previously unreleased French Rap album was produced by Don Philippe and DJ Friction for Philippe's project "No Sé" before they started working on the first Freundeskreis album.

Due to complications with the french label it was never released.

Classic 1995-1996 Hip Hop production flavours combined with great french rap lyrics from dope underground MCs but also french hip hop legends such as Menelik, Dee Nasty and Sidney.
