ONRA “An Introduction to Rap Français”

ONRA: "I grew up to French Rap even though I got into it a little after US Rap and R’n’B, mostly because it was hard to find in my countryside hometown. I’m glad I picked it up around the time where it was at its best though, perfectly synced with the golden era of its original american version, the mid-90′s.

I had the idea for this mix while at a party in New York a few years ago, and when the DJ started playing a Biggie song, the whole crowd started to sing along, not a single person didn’t know the lyrics. Of course most of these people heard it a million times already, but it was the fact of “being in NY and playing some “old-school” NY Rap” that made me realize, we don’t have a single song like this in France. We have tons of hits and dope songs, but very few DJ’s are playing them in their sets. It is now totally off-the-radar on any radio or at any parties, and a big part of our national musical history is slowly disappearing.

I’m definetely not the most legit french guy to do this kind of mix, but the ones who are, unfortunately don’t have the same window to the world, and this is my chance to share with y’all some of my favorite French Rap songs. My wish is to help this beautiful heritage regain some of its value, as it’s been sadly looked down upon and under-appreciated over the years, and that it serves as a good introduction to this genre for people who might be curious.

Beautiful music..

”Darmel’s House” is a new mix of 1990s rap tracks from all over the map, including well-known underground classics and never heard before tape-only obscurities. My vision was one of those hazy afternoons when we’d cut out of school early and head to the homie’s house to get stoned and play tapes. Back in the day we didn’t have any boundaries to what we played, so that’s how I approached this mix. It’s slowed but not slopped, a little bit trippy but grounded in the realities of our time, and blended to perfection in a blunted state by yours truly with the assist of the great DJ Icewater on the cut. ... Dedicated to everyone from Berkeley, Oakland and parts beyond that were down for the cause from Day One.

Here is the bandcamp if you want to pre-order a cassette: http://greatulysses.bandcamp.com/album/darmels-house

Enjoy with my compliments!
