Hard to say i wasn't influenced by Pete Rock on that one!
Here's another unreleased beat on debut album from "Les Rieurs".
I remember that at that time, we were shocked (especially Kass, with his Comorian origins) to hear that a young comorian was
murdered in Marseille by 3 "Front National" billposters ("Front National" is a French far right extremist political group).
That's the reason why we decided to use and loop that voice from "Fonky Family" on the chorus...
lyrics
Dur de ne pas admettre l'influence de Pete Rock sur ce titre !
Un autre beat , extrait du premier album des Rieurs jamais sorti .
Nous avions été choqué , et Kass d'origine comorienne particulièrement , par l'assassinat à Marseille d'un jeune comorien par trois colleurs d'affiches du Front National ( parti extrémiste de droite ) d'où le sample de voix de la Fonky Family en boucle sur le refrain ...

The main goal of this retrospective is to set a brief overview of my carreer,
because a few parts of it are unknown especially to those of you who are following me
since my debut solo album "Le Bienheureux".
The second goal is to raise funds to help me produce my next album,
and also be able to collaborate with guest artists on this concept-album.
supported by 22 fans who also own “La Flamme ( Ensoniq ASR-10 ) 1996”
After listening to Degiheugi's large discography, my choice settled on this album. It seems to me to be the most successful. I appreciate the richness of hiphop trip-pop jazzy-chill nu-soul sounds. The French vocal are amazing. jef37
